brian *head* welch, formerly of korn

Wearing a silver cross necklace, ex-metal guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, 34, a founding member of the multi-platinum metal band Korn from the United States, pauses at Jordan river's baptismal site near the Kibbutz Kinneret, in northern Israel, Saturday March 5, 2005.

Welch was later baptized in the Jordan river, just weeks after quitting his band, drug habits and rock-and-roll lifestyle for religion.

Thousands of pilgrims are baptized annually in the revered river where according to the Biblical tradition, John the Baptist baptized Jesus.
