Korn have announced that the 12-year-old son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo will tour South America with them later this month.

Tye Trujillo plays in the band The Helmets and will fill in for regular bassist Fieldy who can’t make the dates next month in Columbia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru “due to unforeseen circumstances.”

Fieldy will rejoin Korn for their North American dates which get underway with a set at the Carolina Rebellion on May 6.

Korn say in a statement: “On April 17 Korn is heading down to South America for a run of dates in Columbia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Fieldy is unable to make the shows so the band will be joined by a special guest. Filling in for bass duties will be Tye Trujillo – the 12-year old son of Metallica’s Robert Trujillo and member of NorCal group The Helmets."
