Korn frontman Jonathan Davis is still struggling with COVID-19 after-effects, nearly three weeks after it was announced that he tested positive for the novel coronavirus. As a result of his infection, the band postponed six dates and canceled two on its current U.S. tour.

Davis, who was reportedly fully vaccinated, addressed his COVID-19 battle during Korn‘s show on 3rd of September in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania. Davis told the crowd before starting to sing “Falling Away From Me” the following:

“It feels so good to be back, y’all. Some of you might know, some of you don’t, but I’m recovering. 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.”
