On June 21st, Korn bassist Fieldy took to social media to announce that he would be taking a break from touring with the band to work on “getting the bad habits out of my system.” Today, Korn announced that Suicidal Tendencies bassist Roberto “Ra” Díaz will be filling in on Korn’s upcoming tour.
“We appreciate your kind words of support in response to the recent tour update about @Fieldykorn. While our brother takes some time to heal, we wanted to let you know that we are bringing our friend @Ra_Diaz from @SuicidalTendencies 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. Tickets available at Kornofficial.com.

Ra is excited to join his friends on the trek posting to his Instagram account:
I’m extremely happy and honored to be a part of the upcoming KoЯn @korn_official shows. Just wanted to remind everyone that this is not about me temporarily playing in the band and it’s more about helping an amazing group of people to keep moving forward while one of their brothers needs some time off. They have been beyond welcoming and I’m stoked that they are willing to trust me with their music. With that said, I promise not only to the band but most important to their fans that I will give everything I got every single night to give them the show and experience they deserve and expect from a KoЯn concert. I’m excited to make new friends and meet you all. AAAAARE YOUUU REAAAADYYYYY?!?!? See you soon! RA 🤘🏼- Photo: @sebastienpaquet
