Brian "Head" Welch, ex-guitarist for rock band Korn will make a rare public appearance next month to promote his memoir, Save Me From Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story.

After only one week, the book has become one of the top 20 books on the New York Times Bestsellers list.

Save Me From Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story, released on July 7 (7/7/07), is a reflection of the ex-band member's dramatic conversion story. In it, he shows how God can work inside even a hardcore rocker.

"The enthusiasm from Korn's early days was gone. I just sat there in so much dark depression," writes Welch in his new book. "How did I get here?...Why is my life such a nightmare?...It felt like I was under a curse, honestly. I was stuck. And it didn't look like I was ever going to get out."

For more than a decade, the founding member of Korn played as lead guitarist and garnered huge success in mainstream music. The band's CDs went platinum, they won multiple Grammys, and Welch amassed incredible wealth. Beneath all that, however, the musician felt trapped.

In 2005, at a 10,000-person concert people in Bakersfield, California, Welch shocked millions of his fans around the world by telling them he had found God and that he was leaving the band.

As part of his newly released book, Welch explains the evolution of Korn and how his life ended up in so much pain. He also relives his greatest difficulty: an addiction to meth that he could not break, even with the birth of his first daughter.

Only through God was he able to kick the habit, which he says proved the Lord's true existence to him.
