After postponing a pair of shows last week amid a positive COVID-19 diagnosis within their camp, Korn have now confirmed that their vocalist Jonathan Davis has tested positive for the disease. The band had been out touring with Staind and more on a summer run.
In light of the positive diagnosis, the band will be rescheduling several more dates for the trek, while the planned dates in Syracuse and Darien Center will be cancelled. The band said of the matter in a statement issued today (August 16th):
“We really appreciate your patience as we work out the next steps for our tour. On Saturday, we received the unfortunate news that Jonathan tested positive for Covid, and needless to say, we had to postpone the show last minute.
As a result of his positive test, we also need to reschedule the next handful of shows. As always, our primary goal is to ensure the safety of everyone involved, so this is something that has to be done.
Jonathan’s spirits are high, and he’s resting and recovering now. We’re as disappointed as you are about the circumstances, but we’ll get through it though, and we can’t wait to see you once we’re back, firing on all cylinders once again.
We thank you all for your love and support!Korn
