John Sykes, a former member of both Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake, has died at age 65. An official statement confirmed that Sykes had been diagnosed with cancer.

"He will be remembered by many as a man with exceptional musical talent but for those who didn't know him personally, he was a thoughtful, kind and charismatic man whose presence lit up the room," according to the statement. "He certainly marched to the beat of his own drum and always pulled for the underdog."

Sykes appeared on Thin Lizzy's harder-edged 1983 album Thunder and Lightning, the group's Top 5 U.K. hit studio finale with the late frontman Phil Lynott. Sykes then joined Whitesnake for a two-album mid-'80s stint that began with the reworked 1984 edition of Slide It In.

There's a new Korn album coming in 2019. Back in August, the band posted an update from the studio and drummer Ray Luzier later said the record would be out in March , retracting his statement shortly after. Regardless of what month it will be released, we know it will be "very groove-oriented," as Jonathan Davis offered up some details about how it's all coming together.

"It's going great. We're recording in Nashville and I'm gonna start working on some stuff when I get home. And when it's done, it's done. We're taking our time on this one," he said in an interview with DOMKcast (video below). "And the stuff that I've heard that we're recording is very groove-oriented," he continued, adding, "It's gonna be a good record. I'm really excited to get home and start singing on it."

Davis said that "there's a lot of moving parts" regarding Korn's process when it comes to new albums. "Sometimes records go real quick. A lot of times, you [get in the studio and things happen] really, really fast. And this could be really, really fast. I've just gotta get in there and do my thing. You never know," he posited.
