Korn enlists legendary rock drummer

Korn is working with veteran rock drummer Terry Bozzio on its eighth studio album. The news was first reported by fan site Korn.Simpol.Net and confirmed for us by the band's management, who said, "Bozzio is working with Korn right now and they are having a lot of fun." The 56-year-old Bozzio is sitting in for Korn drummer David Silveria, who announced in December that he was taking a "temporary hiatus" from the group for at least one studio album and tour. Bozzio, long considered one of the greatest drummers in rock, is best known for his work with Missing Persons and Frank Zappa. He also worked with Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis on music for the soundtrack of the film Queen of the Damned. Bozzio told a Dutch radio station that he was working with Korn.

According to Korn.Simpol.Net, Silveria has taken time off to manage his two California restaurants, Tuna Town and Silvera's Steakhouse & Lounge, plus spend "quality time" with his family.

Korn leads the list of bands appearing on the Family Values Tour 2006 CD and DVD, which arrived in stores late last month.

The band expects to release its new album later this year. An MTV Unplugged performance taped last month will be broadcast and released on CD in February.
