Ghost’s mask-wearing frontman and mastermind Tobias Forge says it was a “relief” when he was outed as the band’s leader in 2017.
In a new interview with Q With Tom Power, the vocalist and multi-instrumentalist says that he was happy to no longer have to keep up the effort of concealing his identity after he was named in a lawsuit. He explains that Ghost, who had won the Grammy Award For Best Metal Performance the year before and were well on their way to arena success, were not at a point where him being unveiled would cost them any momentum.
