The band was on hand, dressed in full stage atire, to accept the Grammy. In his brief acceptance speech, Ghost frontman Papa Emeritus III said: "Hello, we are Ghost. Thank you so much for this. This is a big, big thing for us, obviously. And, you know, a nightmare has just turned into a dream. So… thank you all for that. Thank you, everybody involved, and thank you for voting. Now, go party."
