Ghost is a Swedish rock band formed in Linköping in 2006, built around frontman and creative mastermind Tobias Forge, who performs under a series of theatrical 'Papa Emeritus' personas backed by anonymous musicians known as the Nameless Ghouls. The band blends hard rock, arena rock and pop sensibility with elaborate occult-papal stagecraft, winning a Grammy for Best Metal Performance (2016) and topping the US Billboard 200 in 2025 with their sixth album Skeletá - the first hard rock record to do so in over four years.
Tobias Forge announced a hiatus from Ghost after the Skeletour concluded on February 23, 2026, citing the need to spend time with family and find new creative inspiration.
The Skeletour World Tour ended on February 23, 2026 in Inglewood, California, after three North American dates were cancelled due to state-of-emergency conditions in the US Southeast.
Ghost's sixth album Skeletá debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 with 86,000 equivalent album units, becoming the first hard rock album to top the chart since AC/DC's Power Up in 2020.
Ghost launched the Skeletour World Tour on April 15, 2025 in Manchester, introducing new frontman persona Papa V Perpetua and a strict no-phones policy at all shows.
Sixth studio album Skeletá was released on April 25, 2025 via Loma Vista Recordings, preceded by singles 'Satanized', 'Lachryma' and 'Peacefield'.
