On Monday, June 21st, Korn bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu took to Facebook tell the world that he’s taking a break from the band to work on some “bad habits.” Arvizu is a founding member of the California nu-metal band, appearing on every album starting with Korn’s 1993 debut.
“The past 6 years I’ve been dealing with some personal issues that at times have caused me to fall back on some of my bad habits and has caused some tension with the people around me,” Fieldy wrote. “It’s been suggested to me to take some time off to heal. I’m going to respect what was asked of me and take that time. Unfortunately you will not see me on stage with my band. I will be working towards getting the bad habits out of my system. In the meantime I will be staying creative to keep my mind & soul in a good place.”
The letter is addressed “To all Korn fans worldwide,” Fieldy said he was asked to “take some time off to heal” and said he’s going to “respect what was asked of me and take that time.”
