Munky heads out to Milan for band reunion..
According to a posting on his MySpace page, KORN guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer — who left the group's European tour last month for "personal and family reasons" — will rejoin his bandmates on February 23 in Milan, Italy.

In a January 2008 MySpace bulletin, Munky stated about his decision to leave the tour, "If you want to better understand my departure, then listen to the words in the song 'Watching the Wheels' by John Lennon." Singer Jonathan Davis said, "We fully support Munky's need to be home right now and because we want to come through for all of our European fans, the tour will go on. It's what Munky wants us to do, too. We promise to give it our all every night!"

KORN's current touring lineup includes guitarists Shane Gibson and Rob Patterson, and ex-ARMY OF ANYONE drummer Ray Luzier, in addition to remaining original members Davis and bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu.
