Korn singer Jonathan Davis has spoken out about his current struggle with aftereffects of COVID.
Jonathan Davis, who’s been struggling with aftereffects of COVID, has touched on his current state of health during his band Korn‘s September 3 concert in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania.
As some of those Korn fans might remember, Korn announced on August 17 by using its social media channels that they’re forced to cancel and postpone several dates due to the singer Jonathan Davis’ contracting for COVID.
Shortly after the band announced the postponement and cancellation of the shows, Korn guitarist Welch stated about his bandmate Jonathan that he is still struggles aftereffects of the illness. He later added that he is physically weak and having a mental battle. Welch had also asked people to send their prayers to his bandmate, Jonathan Davis.
After Jonathan Davis, who lived difficult times to take breath at certain moments of the show, returned to the live stage with his band Korn‘s recent show at Tinley Park, they’ve played another show at The Pavilion at Star Lake in past Friday. Prior to launching into the song Falling Away From Me, Davis informed people about his struggle with aftereffects of COVID and said it beat him.
“It feels so good to be back, y’all. Some of you might know, some of you don’t, but I’m recovering,” Jonathan told the crowd. “I got COVID, and that shit kicked my motherfucking ass. But I decided I’m not gonna fucking cancel.
“So I might be standing up, I might be sitting in my chair, but I’m gonna give you a hundred motherfucking percent. So let’s scream and have a good motherfucking time tonight.”

Announcing the postponement and cancellation of the shows, Korn has penned the following words to announce the news: “We really appreciate your patience as we work out the next steps for our tour.
“On Saturday, we received the unfortunate news that Jonathan tested positive for Covid, and needless to say, we had to postpone the show last minute. As a result of his positive test, we also need to reschedule the next handful of shows.
“As always, our primary goal is to ensure the safety of everyone involved, so this is something that has to be done.
“Jonathan’s spirits are high, and he’s resting and recovering now.
“We’re as disappointed as you are about the circumstances, but we’ll get through it though, and we can’t wait to see you once we’re back, firing on all cylinders once again.

Please get well! That’s more important than playing shows. I rather see you healthy so take care of yourself for now! We need you here along with your talent! Prayers for Jonathan and much love!
I just saw him in Tinley and honestly he sounded so good, I couldn’t tell he was struggling. Yes, he was on his throne and did hit the mask but it did not affect his voice and I will DEFINATELY see him again. Outstanding show with Staind. … which were kick ass too!
Dude had a bad case of the flu. Alleged Covid 19 has NEVER BEEN ISOLATED. The alleged delta variant is from the experimental gene therapy injections. Plain and simple. It was never a pandemic to begin with.
The strength you have is amazing, as always!! I’m getting exhausted just watching you perform knowing that you must feel like total shit and could be curled up under a nice soft blanky resting!!😝. Seriously tho!! But please please take care of yourself!! I know you don’t wanna let your fans down, but your health both physically and mentally right now, need to take the front seat!! And any true fan would say the same🤗. Prayers for you J.D!! Luv ya!!😘🤗
