Ghost have announced an extensive tour of North America.

Following the success of their fourth album Prequelle, which reached #3 in the Billboard 200 and #10 in the UK Album Charts, the secretive occultists have announced an almost two-month trek across the United States and Canada, climaxing at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on December 15.

Ghost were forced to cut short a show in Milwaukee earlier this month after a fan collapsed and died during their set.

Jeffrey Fortune, 52, was taken ill at the Riverside Theater during an intermission in the band’s show. He was later pronounced dead at hospital.

Ghost fanclub Ghost American Ministries launched a GoFundMe page to raise money for his family.
