The former members of Ghost will have their appeal heard by a court in March 2020 after their lawsuit alleging that frontman Tobias Forge was ripping them off was dismissed back in 2018.

The four former bandmates say that Forge took their profits from the band's album releases and ticket sales while they performed as "nameless ghouls." After the case was dismissed, they were ordered to pay for Forge's court costs of around $150,000. Forge says that there was no actual agreement between the band members and himself and were paid a salary as a "backing band." The lawsuit was what actually forced Forge to reveal his true identity after performing as "Papa Emeritus" for years.

Ghost did recently release two new tracks which you can listen to below.

Jade was born and raised in Detroit Rock City and grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who, Tom Petty, etc. In high school she tried multiple different styles from cheerleader to goth but couldn’t do gymnastics and couldn’t get her eyeliner dark enough. She settled on jeans and a t-shirt, playing sports and making normal situations overly awkward. When she’s not making bad jokes on the radio you can find her shanking golf balls into the woods on the golf course and drinking beers at the bar. She has a strict two shot limit when it comes to tequila. Jade enjoys writing and talking about everything happening in Detroit Rock City, our Detroit sports teams, golf, and her fear of robots.
