Brian ‘Head’ Welch Finds God and Leaves Korn

Gui­tarist Brian “Head” Welch, a found­ing mem­ber of Korn, has left the band and has reded­i­cated his life to Chris­tian­ity, accord­ing to the group’s management.

“Korn has parted ways with gui­tarist Brian ‘Head’ Welch, who has cho­sen Jesus Christ as his sav­ior, and will be ded­i­cat­ing his musi­cal pur­suits to that end,” a state­ment from the band reads. “Korn respects Brian’s wishes, and hopes he finds the hap­pi­ness he’s search­ing for.“1

This is great news to hear (thanks John). It’s weird that I used to idol­ize these guys not so long ago, and now to see how where I have come from and where Brian is going is awe­some! This is sur­real. He’s even leav­ing for Israel at the end of this month (Acts 8:26–40)!

Look­ing at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you pos­sess and give to the poor, and you will have trea­sure in heaven; and come, fol­low Me.“
Mark 10:21
