The same day, we finally got news of the resolution in the lawsuit against Tobias Forge, Ghost’s leader, by his former band mates. However, the verdict of the court is now being appealed.

To backtrack a little on the lawsuit, according to Loudwire, last year former band mates sued Tobias Forge for $22,000 in unpaid compensation. The prosecution included past guitarists Simon Soderberg and Henrik Palm, past drummer Martin Hjertstedt and past keyboardist Mauro Rubino.

According to Metal Injection, the former members of Ghost, Simon Söderberg, Mauro Rubino, Henrik Palm and Martin Hjertstedt, that were suing Tobias Forge in accusation of collecting royalties and profits from tour merchandise sales without proper distribution to band members are appealing the judge’s dismissal of the case. There is no further information from either the former band members or their lawyer at this time.
