On Sunday (16), KoRn backed out from performing at the Alternative Press Music Awards. However, it didn’t stop them from attending and all we know is they had to cancel their set due to “unforeseen circumstances.” However, awards were handed out yesterday (17th) at the Keybank State Theater in Cleveland, OH, which includes KoRn taking home the Vanguard Award and Fieldy’s best bassist win, along with producer John Feldman (Goldfinger) with the Influencer Award.
