Slipknot Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Profiteering from Late Drummer's Death

Joey Jordison's estate accuses band members of retaining his belongings for a traveling museum and using his death to promote their new album.

Slipknot, the heavy metal band, is being sued by the estate of their late drummer, Joey Jordison, for allegedly profiting off his death.
The lawsuit alleges that the band members Corey Taylor and Michael Shawn Crahan kept Jordison's belongings, including his masks, drum set, and sneakers, and displayed them in a traveling museum called Knotfest.
The estate also claims that Jordison was abruptly fired from the band by email in 2013 while he was struggling with a neurological condition.
According to the lawsuit, the band used Jordison's death as a marketing tool for their new album 'The End, So Far', released in 2022.
Slipknot has denied the allegations and asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit.
