Sid Wilson is seemingly cosigning his exit from Slipknot after the iconic rock band confirmed he is no longer a member.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Wilson, the DJ and keyboard player for the band for nearly 30 years, altered his Instagram bio to note he is no longer associated with the band, changing the description from “@slipknot gang since 1997” to “@slipknot 1997-2026.”
The band confirmed it is no longer affiliated with Wilson, 49, on Friday, August 14, sharing a since-deleted statement on their official website that was also shared by rock music festival Knotfest’s official Instagram account.
“Effective immediately, Slipknot will no longer be associated with Sid Wilson,” the statement read. “We wish him the best in his future endeavours.”

On August 3, Kelly, 41, seemingly threw some very public and not-so-cryptic shade at Wilson when she seemingly accused him of not taking “responsibility” for his alleged actions, though she did not elaborate any further.
“Strange how the loudest defense of the guilty is rarely innocence … It’s distraction,” Kelly, 41, wrote via her Instagram Stories at the time. “When the mask slips, they don’t face the mirror they throw it at someone else.”
She added, “I also heard that when you break a mirror you get 7 years bad luck! Or is that just karma? This is why I always take accountability. As they say some are sicker than others.”
Us reached out to Wilson regarding his ex’s public claims at the time but did not hear back.
