KORN Frontman To Embark On Solo Tour

October 4, 2006

KORN frontman Jonathan Davis has confirmed to MTV.com that he will be hitting the road without his core band. The Davis tour launching in February will feature the singer performing alongside the four musicians who backed KORN on tour this year. The backing musicians performed guitar, piano, backup vocals and percussion.

"I'm gonna do it more in the style of a lounge thing," Davis told MTV.com. "I'll be playing KORN songs, the 'Queen of the Damned' [soundtrack] stuff I did and a lot of different covers. When I was growing up, my dad played in a couple of bands where they just went around different clubs and played covers. It's just going to be fun."

Although he's venturing outside of KORN for the tour, Davis says he has no plans for a solo album.

"The closest thing [I've done to a solo album] was the 'Queen of the Damned' stuff and if I were to [record something solo] again, it'd be something like that," Davis said. "Maybe some day when it's right, but I don't want to distract from KORN. I don't want people to think there's problems with the band. I'm just trying to have fun while the other guys are relaxing or working on their own records or whatever."

Things are so good with KORN, in fact, the band is already jumping back in the studio to work on its eighth proper album.

"We start today," Davis said. "We're just going to be riffing out and compiling ideas. Whenever we came off the road, we went right into the studio, so we have six or seven songs done and we're going to work on some more."
