Ghost Frontman Opens Up About Lawsuit Involving Former Members

Ghost frontman Tobias Forge aka Cardinal Copia has opened up about the lawsuit filed against him.

Last year, former band members and ‘Nameless Ghouls’, sued Forge, claiming unpaid earnings.

In a recent interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, as reported by MetalSucks, the frontman addressed what caused the lawsuit in the first place: 

“As any individual in some tandem with other individuals, there are times when you need to break up and times when you have to get divorced, and do a spring cleaning. That itself is not different than any other band or any other social circle. Of course, it’s never a joyous experience, but it was something that needed to be done.”

Furthermore, he explains:

“I’d done everything in my power to try to accommodate a few of my friends to enjoy this ride that I had taken them on, but the project and myself had just come to a point where I couldn’t make them happy, whichever way I chose to go. It was only met with resentment and complaints and general obtuseness, and at the end of the day, you had to come to a point where, ‘Well, you guys don’t even need to be there. You’re free to go. I need to survive. I need to do my thing. This is my thing.[…]'”

Or, to sum it up, short and simple:

“What you heard is just a culmination of years, years, of complaints and ungratefulness, let’s put it that way.”

What do you think about the situation?
