## Resource

Thursday, August 27, 2026. Tobias Forge tells Kerrang! why Ghost are on hiatus — he's exhausted after 70 shows, he doesn't have an idea for the next record, and he won't force one. Maynard James Keenan reveals he underwent a hip replacement on August 26 after an unexplained injury in Luxembourg, and confirms all 27 shows across 18 countries with Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer are going ahead. And Decessus vocalist Ignacia Fernández performs her own band's death metal song at the Miss World 2026 talent competition — for the second time in her pageant run. Scott Penfold breaks it all down in under five minutes. Full stories at loadedradio.com. Stream Loaded Radio 24/7 or download the free Loaded Radio app on Apple and Google Play.
