Korn pushes back "unplugged" release. Singer celebrates birthday
Korn's release of its "MTV Unplugged" CD has been pushed back from February 20th to March 6th, according to Blabbermouth.net. The performance will still premiere online on February 10th and on MTV itself on the 17th. Taped at MTV's Times Square studios in December, the session features guest appearances by Evanescence singer Amy Lee and members of the Cure, as well as Korn's rendition of the Radiohead classic "Creep." A video and single for "Freak On A Leash," which features Lee, is heading to radio and video outlets now.
In other news, Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis celebrates his 36th birthday today (Thursday, January 18th). Davis told us that being stricken with a life-threatening blood infection last year has led him to take a long, hard look at himself: "There's a lot going on with me, health-wise and spiritual-wise, and re-examining my priorities in life, you know, what's really important to me. And, you know, there's a lot of issues that I have to deal with."
Korn recently confirmed that it has recruited veteran rock drummer Terry Bozzio to play on the band's eighth studio album and next tour. 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.
Bozzio, long considered one of the greatest drummers in rock, is best known for his work with Missing Persons and Frank Zappa. He was inducted into the Hollywood RockWalk on Wednesday, January 17th.
Korn expects to release its new album later this year.
