Ben Ward (born 2 December 1974) is a British musician who has been the singer of Orange Goblin since 1997.
[1] Ward had wanted to become a footballer for Queens Park Rangers, but, inspired by Lemmy and Bruce Dickinson, “discovered heavy metal, booze and drugs, so football fell by the wayside”.
[2] Ward helped found Our Haunted Kingdom in 1994 and they evolved into Orange Goblin in 1997.
He has been their singer ever since, recording ten studio albums with the band.
[3] In 2016 Ward set up a Just Giving campaign for 73 Team Rock employees, who he thought were being unfairly treated by being threatened with redundancy.
