It looks like Ghost’s October 7 show in Brisbane, Australia may have been their last to feature Papa Emeritus IV as the band’s leader. The frontman confirmed the news onstage, but his successor has yet to be revealed.
Papa IV said the following:
“It’s a big night in so many ways,” Emeritus IV told the crowd, as captured in fan-shot footage. “I’m going to let you accompany me, you can stay where you are and I’m going to go have a little bit of a drink over here.
I know a lot of people are expecting some sort of explosion, implosion, a miracle where I just disappear in favor of a successor.
I’m going to take this ice cube and I’m going to put it down my pants. I usually don’t do that, but that is to make me feel a little bit better because now I’m focusing on that and not on you.
Just in case you thought I was pissing myself, which I’m sure would have been the great finale. But you know what?
This finale, it’s just going to be my last show, and I’m going to do my best to deliver that show to you. And that would just have to be enough, OK?”
