Slipknot Parts Ways With Sid Wilson After Nearly 30-Year Run
Slipknot has officially announced the sudden departure of Sid Wilson, effective immediately; the DJ/keyboardist had been with the band since 1998, nearly three decades. The group said they wish him the best in his future endeavors in a post that has since been removed. The news follows a history of past exits (Craig Jones in 2023, Chris Fehn in 2019) and the deaths of Joey Jordison (2021) and Paul Gray (2020); no reason for Wilson’s exit was given, TMZ first reported it, guitarist Jim Root urged caution about rumors, and the remaining members have yet to address the band’s future lineup. The group’s last known live show was July 2025 at Inkcarceration.
