The 51-year-old bassist is taking some time out to “heal”
www.guitarworld.comHere’s the latest I can provide about Fieldy from Korn, based on recent reporting:
- Fieldy has been openly discussing his status with Korn in interviews, noting that he hasn’t spoken to the band since around 2019 and isn’t planning to rejoin immediately, though he has not ruled out future possibilities. This pattern of limited contact and ambiguity about a return has persisted through 2025 into 2026 .
- In 2021 Fieldy announced a hiatus from Korn to address personal issues and "bad habits," with the band expressing support and indicating there was no current plan for his return at that time .
- 2025–2026 developments show continued questions about Fieldy’s relationship with Korn. He has stated evolving positions in interviews, including comments that suggest both distance and the possibility of future involvement, but there has been no official Korn reunion announcement as of mid-2026 .
- On-stage activity outside Korn has continued for Fieldy, including a rare 2026 Anaheim appearance with a different lineup, which demonstrates he remains active musically but does not imply a Korn reformation .
Illustrative snapshot
- Timeline highlights: 2019 contact hiatus noted; 2021 Fieldy hiatus for personal issues; 2022–2025 mixed updates about “different places”; 2026 onstage appearances suggest ongoing activity but no formal reunion with Korn.
- The status remains fluid: Fieldy has said “never say never” regarding future Korn involvement, while publicly acknowledging distance and ongoing personal focus .
