Slipknot Officially Part Ways with Sid Wilson
The band said Wilson’s departure was effective immediately and wished him well after nearly three decades as its #0 turntablist.
- On Friday, Slipknot confirmed the departure of longtime turntablist Sid Wilson, ending his 28-year run with the Iowa-based metallers through a since-deleted social media statement.
- TMZ reported two weeks ago that the decision came after the group "finally had enough of Sid's behavior," specifically citing how Wilson treated his bandmates.
- Known as #0, Wilson produced sound effects for the band since 1998, joining other recent departures including percussionist Chris Fehn in 2019 and sampler-keyboardist Craig Jones in 2023.
- While Slipknot deleted the announcement from their social pages, it remains posted on the official Knotfest Instagram; guitarist Jim Root previously urged fans to "Just maybe even wait until there's more information."
- The band has weathered significant personnel shifts, including founding drummer Joey Jordison's 2013 departure and founding bassist Paul Gray's death in 2010 while an active member.
