It is not the first time that Korn applies the “I had problems with my flight”
While many know that airline problems are more common than we’d like, last June Korn fans in Mexico recalled that Jonathan Davis and company had apparently already used the same ‘excuse’ with other of his fans.
And it is that at the festival Resurrection Fest 2022 that took place in Galicia, Spain, the band did not show up either and in a statement – quite familiar – indicated that it had been due to “travel challenges” that they faced. What do you think about it?
