Ivan Moody, vocalist for modern heavy metal chart-toppers Five Finger Death Punch, has plans to eventually retire from metal sooner than later. While appearing onstage in Denver, CO last night, October 14th, Moody revealed his plans to the audience, offering:
“I wanted to tell you this. And nobody else in the world knows, Denver, so this is where it’s going to start. And what you do with it is up to you. The last 15 years of my life I have toured the world, I have seen every country, every city on this planet at least twice—That’s a fact. And through that time as many of you parents know—hard workers—I have missed a lot of time with my kiddos. So I made them a deal today, and I’m going to stick to it. After this year, I am going to make one more Five Finger Death Punch album and then I am retiring from heavy metal.

Can I play Red Rocks one more time? You, I owe you everything, Colorado, Five Finger Death Punch and every knucklehead on this planet, thank you.”
Moody has several children and is also a grandfather. The group are winding down their tour with Megadeth, The HU and Fire From The Gods tonight (October 15th) at the USANA Amphitheater in Salt Lake City, UT. They’ll follow that up with the below run with Brantley Gilbert and Cory Marks:
