KORN STAR TO REJOIN TOUR AFTER DEALING WITH FAMILY ISSUES

KORN star JAMES 'MUNKY' SHAFFER is set to rejoin the rockers on tour in Italy after "personal and family reasons" forced him to head home to America last month (Jan08). The guitarist has announced he'll be back on stage with Korn for the band's Milan show on Saturday (23Feb08). Shaffer has yet to fully explain his reasons for quitting the tour, but in a posting on his MySpace.com website last month (Jan08), the rocker cryptically wrote: "If you want to better understand my departure, then listen to the words in the song Watching The Wheels by John Lennon." Korn frontman Jonathan Davis greeted his guitarist's departure by stating, "We fully support Munky's need to be home right now."
