MUNKY Rejoins KORN In Milan; Video Footage, Photos Available

February 23, 2008

KORN guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer — who left the group's European tour last month for "personal and family reasons" — rejoined his bandmates on stage earlier tonight (Saturday, February 23) in Milan, Italy. According to the Italian news blog Musica Metal , KORN frontman Jonathan Davis re-introduced his "favorite motherfucker" to the audience five songs into the band's set to a rousing reaction from the fans.

Photos taken at tonight's concert can be found at Musica Metal . Fan-filmed video footage of Davis "presenting" Munky to the Italian crowd, followed by the song "Falling Away From Me", can be seen below.

In a January 2008 MySpace bulletin, Munky stated about his decision to leave the tour, "If you want to better understand my departure, then listen to the words in the song 'Watching the Wheels' by John Lennon." Singer Jonathan Davis said, "We fully support Munky's need to be home right now and because we want to come through for all of our European fans, the tour will go on. It's what Munky wants us to do, too. We promise to give it our all every night!"

KORN's current touring lineup includes guitarist Shane Gibson and ex-ARMY OF ANYONE drummer Ray Luzier, in addition to original members Davis and bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu.
