Sid Wilson Kicked Out of Slipknot: Details
Sid Wilson, known as Slipknot's DJ and keyboardist, has been officially removed from the band. TMZ reports, citing a source close to the group, that the musician was informed of his dismissal on Friday evening. The reasons for this decision have not yet been disclosed.
Wilson was one of Slipknot's nine founding members and had been with the band since 1999. His departure is yet another loss for the group, which has seen other original members leave in recent years.
The news of his firing came shortly after Wilson's split from Kelly Osbourne. In March, the couple quietly called off their engagement, though sources at the time suggested they might get back together. Now, the musician's personal life has taken a backseat amid career changes.
Slipknot, known for their aggressive sound and masks, is going through tough times. Guitarist Craig Jones and percussionist Chris Fehn have already left the band. In 2021, former drummer Joey Jordison passed away in his sleep, and in 2010, bassist Paul Gray died of a drug overdose.
Wilson's departure raises questions about the band's future. Fans are speculating who will take over as DJ and how this will affect live performances and new recordings. No official statements from Slipknot members have been made yet.
For Wilson, this is not his first experience outside the band: he has released solo projects and experimented with electronic music. He may now focus on these directions, though his plans remain unknown.
The entertainment industry is closely watching the situation. Slipknot remain one of the most influential metal bands of our time, and every move by its members causes a wide resonance.
While fans hope Wilson's dismissal won't spell the end of the group, history shows Slipknot knows how to surprise. We await official comments and continue to follow the news.
