Rock singer releases exclusive song for JDRF

Metal group Korn has released an exclusive download for JDRF after the lead singer’s youngest son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes last year.

So Unfair was written by frontman Jonathan Davis to shine a light on his son Zeppelin’s struggle with the condition. The 43-year old-has made an emotional call for people to download the single – available for a limited time only.

Multiple Grammy Award winner Davis said: “Zeppy has had Type 1 diabetes now for over a year. It’s a battle for me, it’s a battle for him, it’s a battle for everybody.

“I have to constantly monitor his glucose, I have to constantly hurt him and stick him with needles, and he doesn’t understand.”

He added: “JDRF gives me hope. I want to support this wonderful organisation that is fighting tooth and nail to help these little kids out. It’s a horrible disease and I hate seeing kids in pain. Let’s find a cure for this bull****, please.”

Davis has “hope for an artificial pancreas” for his six-year-old son, which he has been reading a lot about since the shock diagnosis. And he isn’t the only global rock star calling on people to unite against Type 1 diabetes. Only recently did Este from Haim – who lives with the condition – announce her support for JDRF too.

Watch Jonathan Davis talk about So Unfair and the inspiration behind it in this video (contains swearing). Korn will be touring the UK in January next year.
