Slipknot Officially Part Ways with Sid Wilson

Slipknot has officially parted ways with their former turntablist Sid Wilson, according to the band's announcement on social media. The metal act confirmed on Friday evening that they will no longer be associated with Wilson, wishing him well in his future endeavors. Wilson, who joined the band in 1998, was the latest classic member to be let go from the group following the departures of Chris Fehn in 2019 and Craig Jones in 2023.

Earlier, they had bid farewell to founding drummer Joey Jordison in 2013 (who later died in 2021) and bassist Paul Gray in 2010. In 2022, Wilson had welcomed a baby boy with Kelly Osbourne and had proposed to her backstage at Ozzy Osbourne's final show. However, it has been reported that Wilson and Osbourne have since ended their relationship.

The band's announcement, which has since been removed from their social pages, can still be seen on the official Knotfest Instagram.
