We were shocked to report yesterday that guitarist Shane Gibson, most famous for his time filling in for "Head" in Korn suddenly passed away. No cause is known currently, but the tributes are pouring in.
Korn released a joint statement as well as quotes from guitaritsts Brian “Head” Welch and James “Munky” Shaffer:
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to Shane Gibson‘s friends, fans and family following the passing of our dear friend. Shane Gibson was Korn‘s touring guitarist from 2007 to 2010 and a member of Jonathan Davis‘ solo band, The SFA’s. He will be greatly missed.
“I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Shane, but I’m honored he was able to fill my spot after I left Korn. He was an amazing guitarist. Hopefully we can jam together in the next life. RIP brother.” – Brian “Head” Welch
“Shane Gibson, you were an amazing guitar player and an amazing person. Your kindness and talent will be missed. I’m very fortunate to have known you.” – James “Munky” Shaffer“
Our thoughts are with Gibson's family and friends.
