Over the weekend, Korn announced via Facebook that they'll be touring in South America with a “special guest.”

“We are bummed Fieldy can’t join us on this run but excited to do a few gigs with a young player like Tye,” said the band. “We look forward to welcoming our brother Fieldy back when we return to the States in May.”

Tye plays for a SoCal band called the Helmets, and his supportive father has joined him on stage at least once. You can check out a father-and-son jam from May 2016 below.
