Rock star’s mystery illness revealed
Korn Download Festival 2006
Entire European tour pulled after hospitalisation
Following Jonathan Davis’ sudden illness at Download, Korn have cancelled their European tour.
Davis has been released from a London hospital where he was receiving treatment for a blood disorder, immune thrombocytopenic purpura.
The metal singer will return to the US in the next few days, where he will most likely receive additional treatment.
As a result of this, Korn have cancelled their tour up to July 2 to allow Davis’ recovery. The dates include a number of festivals, including the French Val de Moine event.
Davis explained the severity of his condition on Korn’s official website. He said: “If I continued to headbang on stage I could have had a brain haemorrhage and dropped dead on the spot.”
Korn were forced to play their scheduled set at Download with a variety of guest singers, including Slipknot’s Corey Taylor.
