Johnny Nunez/Getty Images for The Recording Academy Slipknot has apparently booted turntablist Sid Wilson from the band.
“Effective immediately, Slipknot will no longer be associated with Sid Wilson,” the band posted in a since-deleted social media post, which was shared by Stereogum on Friday, Aug. 14. “We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
Reps for the band did not immediately return Rolling Stone‘s requests for comment.
Wilson, who joined the band in 1998, was known at #0 and served as Slipknot’s keyboardist and turntablist. His departure is one in a series in recent years. In 2019, Slipknot announced they were parting ways with Chris Fehn amid the longtime percussionist’s lawsuit that alleged the band had shorted payment he claimed was due to him. A few years later, pinhead-masked keyboardist-sampler Craig Jones, who had joined the nonet in 1996, also left the band in 2023. Later that year, Slipknot split with drummer Jay Weinberg over what they called a “creative decision.”
