Korn guitarist James ‘Munky’ Shaffer has revealed he will miss the next five Korn shows, starting with tonight’s performance in Wantagh, New York.
The band are on the road with Alice In Chains and Underoath, but Munky will be spending the next week with his wife Evis Xheneti as they await the birth of their daughter.
Munky says: “Since our family is waiting any day now for the birth of our daughter, I won't be performing from Tuesday, August 6 through Sunday, August 11. I'll be back in Detroit.
“I’m going to miss you all very much on those dates. But, you're in great hands with our close friend and brother JR Bareis who is filling in for me – and of course the rest of Korn who will carry the load.
“Thank you to all of our fans for your understanding and support.”
Korn are preparing to release their new studio album The Nothing on September 13 through Roadrunner/Electra. The follow-up to 2016’s The Serenity Of Suffering will feature the lead singles You’ll Never Find Me and Cold.
