"Due to unforeseen circumstances" Korn's full-time bass player, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu is unable to tour with them for their upcoming shows. In his place, they’ve recruited Tye Trujillo, the 12-year-old son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo.

This news was posted on Korn's official Facebook page and he's said to be doing "a few gigs". Tye Trujillo currently plays in two bands: NorCal and The Helmets. Judging from footage below he's more than capacble to stand up to the challenge of playing in one of the most important metal bands to have ever lived.
Naturally, Korn are disappointed that their bassist can't join them but hats off to them for giving someone so young and talented a chance. This experience could end being something that helps set Trujillo Jnr's long, lucrative career as a musician off.
Watch Tye Trujillo play below:
