Overview
- Slipknot confirmed late Friday that it will no longer be associated with DJ and keyboardist Sid Wilson in a short social‑media post that was deleted minutes after it went live.
- TMZ first reported on July 31 that Wilson had been told he was 'permanently kicked out' and later reported the decision followed complaints about how he treated bandmates.
- Guitarist Jim Root posted a cryptic Instagram story urging fans to wait for more information and to not accept early reports at face value.
- Kelly Osbourne published then deleted Instagram messages accusing Wilson of avoiding responsibility and asking for child support for their three‑year‑old son, comments that media linked to the controversy.
- Wilson joined Slipknot in 1998, his exit continues a recent pattern of high‑profile lineup changes for the band, and neither Slipknot nor Wilson’s representatives have offered further public explanation or detailed next steps.
