Korn have had to postpone their current U.S. tour as frontman Jonathan Davis has tested positive for COVID-19.
The group announced the news that someone in their team had contracted the virus over the weekend, but confirmed it was Davis yesterday (August 17) in a statement.
They wrote:
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!
The bulk of the postponed shows have been moved to September and October of this year, while a pair of New York concerts were cancelled outright. Korn are expected to resume touring on August 27, pending Davis' health situation.
