Korn have released official footage from their first show with 12-year-old Tye Trujillo on bass.

The son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo has been brought into the lineup in place of Fieldy for the band’s run of South American dates in support of latest album The Serenity Of Suffering.

The footage was taken from Korn’s set at Bogota’s Gran Carpa De Las Americas in Colombia and shows Tye rehearsing backstage under the watchful eye of his father before hitting the stage with the band.

Watch the clip below.

Introducing Tye last week, Korn said: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Fieldy is unable to make the shows so the band will be joined by a special guest. Filling in for bass duties will be Tye Trujillo – the 12-year old son of Metallica’s Robert Trujillo and member of NorCal group The Helmets.

“We are bummed Fieldy can’t join us on this run but excited to do a few gigs with a young player like Tye.

“We look forward to welcoming our brother Fieldy back when we return to the States in May.”

Korn’s have five South American dates remaining on their current tour. Find their full list of upcoming live dates below.
