Here’s the latest public info I could confirm about Fieldy and Korn from early 2025 to 2026.
- Fieldy has stated he has no immediate plans to return to Korn and has been on hiatus from touring since 2021, though he left room for possible future collaboration or a change in plans.[2][5][9]
- He has indicated he hasn’t spoken with Korn members since 2019, highlighting a long-standing communications gap, even as the band continued activities with Ra Diaz on bass for live shows.[5][6][2]
- Korn has continued performing and touring with Ra Diaz as their live bassist, while Fieldy works on personal projects and healing from past issues; there’s no public announcement of a split, just a paused status.[4][9][2]
Illustration: If you’re picturing a timeline, Fieldy steps back in 2021 for personal reasons, remains largely out of the loop with Korn through 2025, and the band proceeds with Ra Diaz on stage, keeping the possibility of future collaboration open.
If you’d like, I can compile a short, sourced timeline with direct quotes and dates, or summarize recent interviews in more detail. Would you prefer a concise timeline or a deeper article-style summary?
