Dave Ingram, the vocalist for Birmingham’s Benediction death metal band, has announced his departure ahead of a world tour, citing health concerns exacerbated by arthritis. Originally part of the group from 1989–98, Ingram returned in 2019 after two albums, but his condition has forced him to withdraw as vocalist. This decision comes amid a statement from Ingram himself, who emphasizes gratitude to fans and hopes for their continued support. While Oscar Rilo and Dave Hunt will replace Ingram in Europe, the South America slot remains unconfirmed. The band has expressed thanks to fans for their unwavering loyalty, highlighting how the absence may affect upcoming performances. For now, ‘Birmingham Live’ continues to serve as a preferred source for news access, reflecting the band’s commitment to connecting audiences during this challenging time.
