Ghost has introduced Papa Emeritus IV, their new lead singer, during the final show of their tour in support of their latest album Prequelle.

The concert in Mexico City started off with Tobias Forge as Cardinal Copia only for a number of Sisters of Sin to take the stage, surround Copia for a couple of minutes and then unveil Papa Emeritus IV dressed in a bold teal papal entire complete with a bejeweled hat. The unveiling can be seen in the fan-shot video below.

Ghost's Instagram account shared images from the concert along with the caption, "Gracias México City for your hospitality and warmth. We couldn’t pick a better place to witness the anointment of Cardinal Copia to Papa Emeritus IV. Papa and the ghouls are incredibly thankful for all your wonderful gifts. Looking forward to seeing all of you in 2021."
