Slipknot Cuts Ties with Sid Wilson for Good

Slipknot's DJ and keyboardist Sid Wilson is officially out. Sources say the band gave him the ax late Friday, and it's not a temporary split or hiatus situation—this is a done deal.

Wilson's been a fixture in Slipknot since the jump, holding down the decks and keys through decades of chaos, lineup changes, and two-faced masks. But whatever went down behind the scenes was serious enough for the rest of the crew to pull the trigger on a permanent removal.

No official statement from the band yet on what led to the split, and those details tend to take a minute to surface. What we know is that Slipknot made their move, and now the question is what comes next—whether they patch the hole or rebuild around it.

This is the kind of move that doesn't happen lightly in a band that tight. Stay tuned.
