An announcement from Korn.com:

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

Jonathan, Fieldy, James and David are personally closer than ever, and are currently in the studio working on their eighth record, the follow up to their highly successful Greatest Hits album. The record is due to be released this coming September.
