Korn guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer has temporarily had to head home early from the band’s ongoing summer tour with Evanescence. According to Shaffer, he has taken an absence to attend to an ‘important family matter’. His statement on the matter can be found below.
J.R. Bareis of Love And Death/Spoken fame will once again be filling in, having previously done so when Shaffer tested positive for COVID-19 last year.
“Due to an unexpected event, I am going to be flying home for an important family matter tomorrow (Sunday, 8/28). Because of this, I will unfortunately be missing our show in Wantagh, NY at Jones Beach Theater.
Although I am bummed that I won’t get to see our NY fans, we are very lucky to have our longtime friend and fellow axe-man, JR, fill in for me to keep the Korn set going strong.
Thank you all for your understanding at this time, and I will be back for our Charlotte, NC show on 8/31.
– Munky“
