DAVE INGRAM ABANDONA BENEDICTION

Hace unos días nos visitaron los antológicos Benediction a la Penínusla Ibérica, pero con la trágica noticia que su mítico cantante Dave Ingram no estaría al pie del cañón por problemas de salud. Este altercado sería solucionado por la banda, donde en su puesto pondría a su amigo Óscar Rilo, de la banda gallega Dark Embrace.

Ahora pasado estos conciertos, donde el gallego hizo un gran papel a las voces, la banda hace un comunicado diciendo que la artritis que sufre David ha ido a más, por lo que le obliga a dejar la banda por su limitación física. Una triste noticia para los fans de Benediction, pero, aún así, el cantante participará en algunos conciertos seleccionados en 2026 como despedida especial para agradecer el apoyo de su legado de seguidores.
 
 
La banda ha confirmado que no cancelará ningún show y continuará con su actividad en directo. Para cubrir las próximas fechas, volverán a contar con Óscar Rilo, que ya recibió una gran acogida en recientes conciertos en España, y con Dave Hunt (Anaal Nathrakh), que regresará puntualmente en los festivales Iron Fest y Mystic.

COMUNICADO DE BENEDICTION:
 
Further to the recent post regarding the health situation of vocalist Dave Ingram, We have received this statement from the man himself;

“Some sad news ahead. Due to the current state of my arthritis now, I have to withdraw as vocalist for Benediction. The increase in pain, and the frustration it causes from its debilitation, has led me to this disconsolate decision. I will be performing select shows with the band during 2026 as I would like a chance to say farewell and thank you to the fans who have supported us throughout the years, so hope that all attending them will have an awesome time with us. It saddens me greatly, and I hope that friends and fans alike will understand. Thank you, it has truly been a blast!”

Details of which shows Dave will attend will be announced as we get closer to gig day as obviously His health will dictate this.

As you would expect Benediction do not want to cancel ANY shows and have called on a few old friends to fill the inevitable void on centre stage for the gigs Dave will miss in the next few Months

Firstly the band had no hesitation in inviting Oscar Rilo to once again step up and fill the vocalist position for the gigs in Germany on 15 and 16 May.

Oscar has received rave reviews from the media and musicians alike after his superb performances at recent Benediction concerts in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona and the Boys in the band are thrilled He will again take up the hot seat.

Dave Hunt will return to his former position as frontman for Benediction at Iron fest and Mystic, his first appearances for the band since he was himself replaced by Dave Ingram in 2019.

We will hopefully to have some really exciting news for our fans in Latin/South America over the next few weeks so keep an eye open for that!

Benediction would like to wish Dave Ingram well and want to make his remaining shows with the band a real send off so we’ll need all of you guys for that!  So Let’s Go!
The band would like to thank you, the fans for your understanding in this unfortunately difficult period.

Thanks for your undying loyalty and relentless support as always. You guys never let us down and we are eternally grateful.

So for now let’s all get behind Oscar Rilo and Dave Hunt for making the next few shows possible (Thanks Fellas!)and let’s make the shows the usual energetic metal chaos you are used to seeing!
​
More news as we get it but ultimately…The Show Must Go On!!
 
 
 
 
¡¡¡¡TE DESEAMOS LO MEJOR DAVE Y GRACIAS POR TODOS AÑOS QUE HAS DEDICADO AL DEATH METAL!!!!
