Paul McCartney, the legendary member of The Beatles is joining a new band; Korn. McCartney, who is the best selling recording artist of all time through his solo work, along with his work with The Beatles and Wings, will now be moving in a new direction as the lead singer of Korn following the unexpected departure of Jonathan Davis, who will now be raising Arabian horses on his farm in Wisconsin."Korn has always been a big part of my life, but I just want to slow things down a bit, raise horses and wax poetically about the wind blowing upon the fields," Davis said.
Many fans are surprised by the announcement of McCartney, known more for his pop and rock music than the neo-metal/alternative music Korn is known for but they are keeping an open mind.
"I guess this guy can sing and stuff, but I don't know, there isn't much similarities between Please Please Me and Freak on a Leash," said one fan. "That being said, who knows it may be great."
The members of Korn are hoping though, that McCartney, who himself is responsible for 31 number one singles, will help take the band to a new level not seen since The Beatles changed music beyond description in the 1960s.
"We weren't going to give him a chance but then he sent us a demo tape of him singing Shoots and Ladders, we knew we had our guy," said James 'Munky' Shaffer.
Korn, with their new lead singer, have already begun work on their next album "Meet The Korn" which will feature covers of famous Beatles songs.
"I am excited to join this band and continue my stellar career that has seen me alter the perception of music fans, influence rock music immeasurably and literally change the pop culture consciousness of the entire planet," said McCartney.
In other news, Nickleback reportedly turned down Ringo Starr's offer to join them as a backup drummer.
