Last night (May 19), Korn guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch was admitted to a Russian hospital. The health scare forced Welch to drop out of Korn's gig with Soulfly in Krasnoyarsk and the guitarist will remain hospitalized for "a few days" and will miss an unknown number of upcoming gigs.

Korn recently embarked on a Russian tour, with the next stop set for Moscow tomorrow (May 15). However, the band has postponed their May 16 show in Kiev due to the current unrest in the area.

Slipknot had such an enjoyable time playing 2013's Ozzfest in Japan that they took a page out of the book and relocated Knotfest to Japan for 2014. The second staging of the Slipknot-organized event will take place Nov. 15 and 16 at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Tokyo and the first two acts joining Slipknot have been revealed.

Yesterday we reported the very sad news that former Korn touring guitarist Shane Gibson passed away at the age of 35. Gibson had taken over live guitar duties for the band from 2007 to 2010 following Brian 'Head' Welch's exit from the group.

Korn are riding a career upswing at the moment, due in part to the success of 'The Paradigm Shift' album. The news just keeps getting better for the band, as they're set to appear as co-headliners of this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival.

Q-ruption this year is the Rockstar Engergy Drink Mayhem Festival on Wednesday, July 23 at SPAC. You already know Avenged Sevenfold and KoRn are headlining but what about the layout for the rest of the stages? We have that answer for you.

To help announce Q-Ruption, Brian 'Head' Welch of KoRn called in to talk about the Mayhem Festival tour, Korn, his other band Love & Death, publicly speaking about his addictions, and much more.

You know summer is close when Mayhem gets announced. SPAC, heat, beers and an insane pit- Now you have us on-board! Q-Ruption baby!

You'll want to start booking travel for Wisconsin this summer. That's because the lineup for this year's Rock USA festival has been unveiled and it definitely rocks. The event, which will be held July 16-19 at Ford Festival Park in Oshkosh, Wis., features such big name acts as Korn, Slayer, Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch and more.

Korn guitarist's Brian 'Head' Welch famously left the band to embrace his Christian beliefs, but now bassist Fieldy is showing his faith by apparently getting a tattoo of a crucifix the left side of his face.
