Joe Elliott has entered the world of Ghost with the re-recording of "Spillways" from the band's latest album Impera.

The collaboration was revealed in the latest video in Ghost's on-going YouTube series. The video below is aptly titled "Chapter 15: Meanwhile In Dublin," where Elliott resides. The Def Leppard singer is seen in a pub that's hosting karaoke. He's persuaded to take to the mic. However, Elliott is then possessed by a force that pulls him into the world of Ghost. (Warning: Some NSFW language ahead.)

Elliott said in a statement, "'Impera' was my favorite rock album of 2022… I found out along the way that Tobias is a bit of a fan of DL, so I guess it was inevitable we’d both find out about each other!" He added, "Once we’d been introduced to the idea of working together it just snowballed organically and I’m thrilled that I got to sing on what is my favorite song from that album!"

The full track can be heard below and is available for streaming/download here.
