He quit cold turkey when his father, a born-again Christian, told him his dying wish was for his son to find God. Now he's married with three children and working on a new album with Korn and his side project, Stillwell.

Yeah, lots of times these guys are what I call survivors simply because they survive though fame.

I am so glad he got his life together. He was on a severe downward spiral there for a while.

Cool! Hopefully it will improve their music.

The band hasn’t been all that good in recent years, IMO.

Cool.

When I moved to Huntington Beach, I moved into his old apartment. Glad to hear that he has found The Lord.

Fieldy, 39, struggled with alcohol, drugs and overeating. He would even eat food off other people's used room-service trays — even trash cans. He also was a womanizer and liked to intimidate anyone, male or female, who disagreed with what he calls "Fieldy's rules."

Yuck. But women still found him "attractive"

His father is smiling down upon his son. Good on him, wish many others like him would do the same.

Following in the footsteps of Brian "Head" Welch who did the same thing several years back. Welch wrote a book about it:

Save Me from Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story

And has a hard rock Christian record out:

Not the best written book but it is a great story of salvation.

Of course! He's with the band. I call it the Keith Richards/Mick Jagger effect.

Just goes to show you what will happen.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Anyone who believes in Christ is a new creation. The old is gone! The new has come!

And, the big deal to remember, for believers and non, is that YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE “GOOD ENOUGH” for Christ to come into your life. On the contrary, we CAN’T be good enough, and that’s exactly why we NEED Christ.

Really is sad what fame does to people sometimes.

Yeah, I admit part of it would be neat, particularly actually having the money to take a vacation any time you want....to really expensive places etc. I love travel, but don’t make enough money to really get to do much of it, nor do I have enough vacation time. :)

Hopefully my wife’s business ideas will take off. :)

I was flipping around the TV and saw him last year on one of those religious shows where the man and woman with the perfect hair appear. I saw him talking to them and he spoke for an hour. He was their only guest. It is no act.
