Wednesday 13 on reuniting Murderdolls without Joey Jordison
Wednesday 13 says he has mixed feelings about reforming Murderdolls without drummer Joey Jordison, who died in 2021. The horror-themed glam-punk band is returning for selected shows to mark its 25th anniversary, a decision the singer says is difficult because he believes Jordison would have wanted to make new music with the group.
Talks began last summer, and the band spent months considering how to celebrate both Jordison and former drummer Ben Graves, who died in 2018. Murderdolls last played a tribute show in 2018; its line-up included guitarist Acey Slade, bassist Eric Griffin, guitarist Alex Kane and drummer Johnny Kelly. No line-up has been announced for the new shows, which have the support of Jordison’s sisters, Katie and Annie.
In short
- Murderdolls will play selected shows for their 25th anniversary.
- Wednesday 13 says reforming without Joey Jordison feels wrong.
- The new line-up has not been announced.
