I thought the same.
Kind of disappointing that they will end the tour without visiting South America and Asia. No 2nd leg in Europe is also surprising. They were originally hyping this tour up as their biggest yet.

Wouldn't surprise me if Tobias has burnt himself out on Ghost, and decided to cut the tour short. He's been pretty non stop Ghost for 15 odd years, barring the pandemic.

And they still have not headlined Download Festival. I was sure they were going to do it this year.

Same here. I'd take them over Linkin Park any day.

I think he's hinted he's a bit burnt out in interviews leading up to this current leg of the tour. He's indicated that Ghost is going to go sit on the shelf for a little bit once the tour's wrapped. Can't say I blame him.

They've been around long enough that I think they will take about a year off, he can do his solo album, and then Ghost can do a hits tour of sorts before writing a new album. But I agree, he is likely burnt out and needs the time. Or maybe even come back with a residency instead of a tour.

From the tone of the interviews, I wouldn't be surprised if it's anywhere from 3-5 years before Ghost comes back. In one interview he said that momentum is important, and if he loses it and it's never the same, he's fine with that.
When they do come back, I'd expect a mostly fresh pack of Ghouls behind him. I imagine he's released everyone from whatever contracts they might have so they can pursue other work. Some will likely find permanent gigs.
Overall, I'm not terribly surprised by the hiatus. Tobias has bounced around musical genres a lot prior to Ghost hitting, and for someone like that to be stuck doing one thing that a huge amount of people expect and demand that he does has got to be confining. But, from the sound of it, it's mostly missing family, especially missing the bulk of his kids growing up due to touring with Ghost.

Apparently during the last show of the tour last night he introduced the ghouls by their real name. Oh yeah, the band's definitely going away for awhile.
