In June, it was revealed that Korn bassist Fieldy would be taking a step away from the band to focus on personal issues. Now, Korn have revealed who will replace Fieldy on bass for the band’s upcoming tour with Staind.
Standing in for Fieldy on Korn’s upcoming tour will be Ra Diaz of hardcore thrashers Suicidal Tendencies. According to the band’s social media, Ra is already rehearsing with the guys.
“We appreciate your kind words of support in response to the recent tour update about Fieldy. While our brother takes some time to heal, we wanted to let you know that we are bringing our friend Ra Diaz from Suicidal Tendencies out with us this summer to fill in on Korn bass duties. We’ve all been rehearsing to get ready to bring the heat, and we can’t wait to see you next month.”
