Korn’s James “Munky” Shaffer To Miss Upcoming Shows

Korn guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer will be missing the band’s immediate live dates so he can be home for the birth of his daughter. During his absence, JR Bareis (Spoken, ex-Islander, etc.) will be filling in.

Munky commented:

“Since our family is waiting any day now for the birth of our daughter, I won’t be performing starting on Tuesday August 6th through Sunday August 11th .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 @jrbareis95 who is filling in for me…and of course the rest of @korn_official who will carry the load. Thank you to all of our fans for your understanding and support!”

Korn are currently out on a co-headlining tour with Alice In Chains and their new album “The Nothing” will be released on September 13.
