Slipknot announced on August 15th that they have parted ways with DJ and keyboardist Sid Wilson. This separation marks the end of Wilson's 30-year tenure with the band, during which he contributed to all seven of their studio albums. He also played a role in designing some of the band's iconic gas mask-inspired headwear.
The departure of Sid Wilson follows recent personal news, including the reported end of his engagement to Kelly Osbourne. This event is the latest in a series of lineup changes for Slipknot.
Over the years, the band has seen several members depart, including Craig Jones in 2023 and Jay Weinberg in the same year. Founding members Joey Jordison and Paul Gray passed away in 2021 and 2011, respectively. Consequently, only Corey Taylor, Clown, Mick Thomson, and Jim Root remain from the original nine-man lineup.
