Overview
- Entertainment outlets citing a band-related source reported that Sid Wilson was informed he had been dismissed late on Friday.
- The reports originate from TMZ and Page Six and have been carried by other outlets, but they rely on anonymous, band-adjacent sources rather than an official statement.
- Neither Sid Wilson nor Slipknot has publicly confirmed the reports, and the band has not given a reason for the reported removal.
- Guitarist Jim Root posted an Instagram story urging fans to wait for more information and to be cautious about unverified reports.
- Wilson joined Slipknot in the late 1990s as the band's turntablist and effects operator; no replacement has been named and the reported exit would further reduce the number of original members, while also coming after recent personal challenges in Wilson’s life.
