FIELDY Updates Fans On KORN: "We're Just In Different Places Right Now" - Metal Injection
"You guys should support 'em. They're ripping right now. They just got off tour. They're killing it."
metalinjection.netHere’s the latest I can provide about Fieldy, Korn’s founding bassist:
- Fieldy has been largely out of Korn’s active touring and recording since 2021, citing personal issues and a need to heal, and there has been no formal announcement of his return to the band as of the most recent reports. This suggests he’s not currently part of Korn’s lineup, though there have been occasional onstage appearances or discussions of “no beef” with the band and ongoing goodwill between parties.[5][6][9]
- In early 2025 and again in 2026, various outlets noted Fieldy’s continued absence from Korn, with comments indicating he hasn’t spoken with the other members for years and that conversations about a full-time reunion were not underway, though some comments left room for “never say never”.[1][6]
- Fieldy did surface publicly in April 2026 with a onstage appearance in Anaheim alongside other musicians, performing Korn material in a smaller venue setting, which confirmed he remains active as a musician but did not indicate a rejoinment to Korn’s activities.[4]
Key context and what it means:
- Status: Fieldy is not currently a member of Korn and there’s no confirmed timeline for a return. Several reports emphasize ongoing personal and health-related reasons for his hiatus and stress that there’s no active plan for rejoining, though interactions have been described as cordial and without obvious bad blood.[6][4][5]
- Activity: Outside Korn, Fieldy continues to perform and record with other projects or on select events, as seen in his Anaheim appearance in 2026. This shows he remains musically active even if not part of Korn’s official lineup.[4]
- Public messaging: Fieldy has repeatedly stated there’s no beef with the band and that different personal paths are in play; fans should watch for any official Korn announcements or Fieldy updates for definitive news.[9][6]
If you’d like, I can:
- Pull the exact quotes from Fieldy’s 2025–2026 interviews and summarize them with citations.
- Track any new Korn announcements or Fieldy appearances and provide a concise update as soon as new information emerges.
