Slipknot 'will no longer be associated' with Sid Wilson
The band said it will no longer be associated with the 49-year-old keyboardist and turntablist, whose exit was first reported by TMZ.
- On Saturday, August 15, Slipknot confirmed they will 'no longer be associated' with Sid Wilson, ending his 28-year tenure with the Des Moines metal band via a statement posted to Knotfest Instagram.
- A source close to the band told TMZ that Wilson was notified late Friday afternoon he had 'been permanently kicked out of the band,' though the group has not publicly explained specific reasons.
- The professional split coincides with confirmation that Wilson and former fiancée Kelly Osbourne have ended their engagement; reports of relationship difficulties emerged earlier this month via Instagram Stories posts.
- Only four members from the original nine-man lineup remain following Wilson's exit, and Slipknot has offered no roadmap for future shows, recordings, or a replacement announcement.
- Three days before the announcement, on Wednesday, August 12, Wilson introduced himself as 'No., from the world-famous Slipknot' while co-hosting the World Scratch Invitational in Atlantic City.
