Ghost seems to have announced their latest frontman!
While many were expecting a new Papa after the end of the band’s film Rite Here, Rite Now heavily hinted at it, it seems the band has finally decided to unveil Tobias Forge’s latest persona.
The Swedish metal band decided on a subtle unveiling, as the new Papa was revealed in Black Sabbath’s final show announcement amongst the additional artists set to appear. The name Papa V Perpetua was shown next to the name Ghost, leaving many to believe the band was hinting at a new frontman quietly. Soon Ghost took their own social media to add fuel to the rumors, posting:
“[MESSAGE FROM THE CLERGY]
We wish to inform you V is coming……..To Birmingham on July 5th.”

While the band has yet to formally confirm that there is a new frontman, many believe this has all been a way to tease the coming of a new Papa.
Ghost will be kicking off their world April, so perhaps fans will get to catch a glimpse of Black Sabbath’s final show.
