AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Heavy metal band Slipknot has announced its separation from Sid Wilson, a member of the group for almost three decades. The decision was made effective immediately.

The announcement came via a post on the band’s Instagram account, which has since been removed. In the statement, Slipknot confirmed that they “will no longer be associated with Sid Wilson.” No specific reason for the departure was given in the brief message.

The band concluded their statement by wishing Wilson “the best in his future endeavors.” Wilson joined Slipknot nearly 30 years ago and served as the group’s turntablist, contributing significantly to their unique sound.
