As Korn return to the road after Jonathan Davis tested positive for COVID in mid-August, the frontman is seemingly having to perform part of the show sat on a throne as he recovers from the illness.

A clip from the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater on August 27 shows Jonathan performing the bagpipes standing up before sitting down for the remainder of the video. And, as guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch shared in his own update, JD is "struggling with the COVID after-effects".

"Shoutout to Indianapolis / Noblesville, Indiana… My God, you guys gave us so much love last night," says Head. "We appreciate you so much. Jonathan Davis is still struggling with the COVID after-effects. He's physically weak and having a mental battle.

"And any type of love, light and energy you can throw at him… prayers, all of it. We have shows coming up, so all of you guys, check the dates. Whatever show you're going to, throw him some love and energy, man – he needs you more than ever."
