We know it reads an awful lot like that “fake news” nonsense many people seem to have only now realised exists, but in REAL, HONEST-TO-GOODNESS NEWS, Tye Trujillo, the 12-year-old son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, is playing bass for Korn during a run of South American shows.
Fieldy, the band’s usual bassist, cannot do the dates for “unforeseen circumstances”, which usually amounts to “old legal problems made getting a VISA impossible” – hopefully 12-year-old Tye’s terrible report card won’t hamper his entry into the country.
Oh, and if you want to check out his chops, Tye is in a band named The Helmets, because they are about three years too young to name their band after an element on the periodic table.
