Following online speculation, long-time Slipknot member, DJ, and keyboardist Sid Wilson (#0) has been fired from the band, according to a now-deleted social media post below. This follows a TMZ report from two weeks ago that he was officially out of the band. He had not commented yet, except at one public appearance, where he said he was still a member. Sid joined the band in 1998, right after signing their original record deal with Roadrunner Records and before completing their self-titled debut album.
This development leaves only Corey Taylor, M. Shawn Crahan, Mick Thompson, and Jim Root as members still held over from the debut, and only band co-founder Clown remaining from 1995.
