Following weeks of speculation and online drama with the band, band members, and fans, long-time Slipknot member, DJ, and keyboardist Sid Wilson (#0) has confirmed he is no longer a member of Slipknot, which the band confirmed themselves weeks ago. According to reports from TMZ report he was officially fired from the band. Sid has updated his social media bios to read “Slipknot 2026.” He had not commented until now, except at one public appearance, where he said he was still a member. Sid joined the band in 1997, 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.
