 NEW YORK — Korn lead singer Jonathan Davis noticed odd bruises recently and has since been diagnosed with a blood disorder that prompted the Grammy-winning band to cancel the rest of the international leg of its tour.
“The doctors have determined that this was an isolated incident and that after a few weeks my recovery will be complete. I will be ready to rock on the Family Values Tour this summer,” the 35-year-old Davis said Tuesday.
He was released from a London hospital after four days of treatment.
ALLERGIC REACTION TRIGGERED DISORDER
Davis told fans on Korn’s Web site Monday that he was diagnosed last weekend with an infection that prevents blood from clotting normally because of a low number of platelets, which are cells produced by bone marrow. It was brought on by an allergic reaction to medication, he said.
“I started getting these weird bruises all over my body about two weeks ago,” Davis said.
BRUSH WITH DEATH
Davis said he was dangerously close to death: “If I continued to headbang on stage, I could have had a brain hemorrhage and dropped dead on the spot.”
The overseas part of the tour was set to end June 27 in Budapest.
The band is headlining the fourth edition of the Family Values Tour in support of their latest album, “See You On the Other Side.” The 30-city North American leg is scheduled to start in Virginia Beach, Va., on July 27.
Korn won a Grammy in 2003 for best metal performance for the song “Here to Stay” from their album “Untouchables.” | |

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
