Former Ghost Members Are Suing Papa Emeritus

It Seems Logical

The decision of Papa Emeritus aka Tobias Forge to fire all band members was unexpected and got us all confused ! Why to fire all the band members that helped the band get the recognition it got! Those members where a part of ghost that cannot been replaced ! So I totally agree with the former member that they suing Papa .
A report from the Swedish newspaper, Corren, states the former members are suing Forge to get him to disclose the band's revenue and expenses between 2011 and 2016. Should he fail to do so, they are asking the court to penalize Forge for 200,000 SEK, which is about $22,000 US, or whatever the court deems reasonable. The former members allege that Forge was withholding money from them and tried to get them to sign contracts that amounted to, what they called, "slave labor."


The members allege Tobias made decisions for the group without consulting the rest of

them, yet also say that a partnership agreement  exists between them and Tobias which put Tobias in charge of the management of the band. They claim he has been collecting all the royalties and revenue from the band's merchandise and touring but never provided other band members with any financial statements. Forge instead insisted that the band was not yet profitable, according to court papers.
The former members claim they did not receive any compensation in 2012, and the dire situation resulted in Forge, under pressure, to pay the members sporadic amounts while still claiming there was no money in their company bank account.
Interestingly, Martin Persner, who recently outed himself as a former Ghoul, is not a part of the suit. In December, Forge, through his lawyer, contested the claim that Ghost was a partnership.
