news: GHOST release new single „Stay (feat. Patrick Wilson)“

Lightning strikes twice in multiple realms of the world of Ghost today, Friday July 7: With the release of their cover of Shakespears Sister’s 1992 Brit Award-winning single “Stay“ (featuring Patrick Wilson)“, Sweden’s foremost theatrical rock purveyors not only mark their second outing scoring the grand finale of a major motion picture (the first being “Hunter’s Moon” in 2021’s Halloween Kills), but also their latest single to feature a once in a lifetime duet between Tobias Forge and a very special guest (following the release of “Spillways” featuring Joe Elliott of Def Leppard earlier this year).

As for exactly how Ghost’s “Stay (featuring Patrick Wilson)“ came into being, the story begins with actor, director and Tony-nominated singer Wilson’s avowed Ghost fandom. Having seen the band live twice in 2022 alone, he met up with Forge while at work on his directorial debut, Insidious: The Red Door, and already contemplating ways to involve Ghost in the film. Additionally inspired by the Joe Elliott version of “Spillways” from Ghost’s international #1 album IMPERA (Loma Vista recordings), Wilson reached back out to Forge. As fate would have it, Forge had been working on a version of Shakespears Sister’s „Stay“ — a #1 hit in 1992 in his native Sweden — and the rest is history: Wilson’s classically trained Broadway bona fides proved a perfect foil for Forge’s sweetly sinister performance, resulting in a stunning duet and the perfect haunting ballad to close Insidious: The Red Door.
