Following the revelations of Hal Patino‘s departure from KING DIAMOND, (see previous news here and here) the band have posted on their official Facebook page the following:

“Overtime rehearsals with stand-in bass player Pontus Egberg from Sweden is paying off.

See you at Grona Lund – Stockholm, on the 25th!”

Swedish bass player Pontus is well known for being part of metallers THE POODLES.
