According to TMZ, Slipknot has reportedly parted ways with longtime DJ and keyboardist Sid Wilson. A source close to the band claims Wilson was told late Friday that he'd been permanently removed, but no reason has been given, and neither Sid nor the band has commented publicly.
Unnamed sources apparently close to the band stated that Wilson's behavior towards his bandmates in the group had apparently become an issue and reached a breaking point and it was a long time coming. Guitarist Jim Root added to the mystery by posting online, "
Don't believe everything you read. Wait for the facts."
Wilson joined Slipknot in 1998 as member number zero, saying the number symbolized a clean slate. He was a key part of the band's iconic original nine-member lineup.
Further developments in the reported firing on Slipknot turntablist Sid Wilson have emerged via his ex-fiancée Kelly Osbourne. "Wake the fuck up take some responsibility I will not take your shit anymore! I'm done. I want to be happy and I have a beautiful son to raise. Leave me alone. let me heal. I can't protect you from yourself anymore. "Also while I'm at it can I have my dogs back and all my possessions. Oh yeah and maybe some child support?"
