Že nekaj časa je znano, da ima vokalist britanskih death metalcev Benediction Dave Ingram zdravstvene težave, zaradi katerih je nedavno bil primoran izpustiti tudi nekaj nastopov. Zdaj je jasno, da je zaradi teh težav Dave primoran zaključiti kariero kot pevec Benediction. Od zveste publike se bo poslovil na izbranih koncertih, ki bodo znani naknadno, celotno izjavo Ingrama pa najdete spodaj:

»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!«

Ob tem pa je izjavo podala tudi zasedba:

»«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!!«
