Trouble has bubbled up in the Slipknot camp as percussionist Chris Fehn (a.k.a. #3) has sued the band, claiming he has been underpaid by the band for years of touring. According to the website The BLAST, Fehn’s lawsuit claims to have always been told that the money from merchandise and touring is funneled through one sole company that splits profits and pays the members of the band. However, Fehn claims he recently discovered that his bandmates have set up several other SLIPKNOT-affiliated business entities in different states that appear to be collecting money from the band. Fehn says he was unaware of the separate companies and claims to have never received a dime from them. He specifically singles out founder Shawn Crahan and leader Corey Taylor of bad business practices concerning Fehn. You can read the entire article at the link below. Slipknot’s sixth and as yet untitled album is in progress and releases August 9th via the bands’ long-term label home Roadrunner Records.
