iRock Nashville Music News Update – 90 sec – 2026-08-15 5:45 PM
In a significant shift for the metal scene, SLIPKNOT has officially announced the departure of longtime member Sid Wilson. The news comes just two weeks after initial reports surfaced regarding his removal from the band, ending a remarkable 28-year journey.
Earlier today, the band released a statement on social media, saying, “Effective immediately, SLIPKNOT will no longer be associated with Sid Wilson. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.” This decision has been described as a culmination of ongoing issues within the group, particularly concerning Wilson’s behavior towards his bandmates.
Wilson, known as #0 in SLIPKNOT, joined the band in 1998 and has been a pivotal part of their sound, contributing to their unique blend of heavy metal. He also occasionally performed under the alias DJ Starscream, inspired by the iconic Transformers character.
As SLIPKNOT continues to evolve, fans are left to ponder what this change means for the band’s future. The group’s last performance took place at the Inkcarceration festival in July 2025, and the metal community is eager to see how they will move forward without Wilson.
