Rock music has long centered around youth but metal band Korn is going to a new extreme – the 12-year-old son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo is joining them on tour.

Korn said that Tye Trujillo (pic above, with Robert), a bassist like his father, will play with the band on Latin American dates in April.
