Slipknot Confirms Sid Wilson’s Sudden Exit: ‘We Wish Him the Best’

Slipknot has announced the immediate departure of longtime member Sid Wilson. The band confirmed the split via an official statement posted to their Instagram account, noting that they will no longer be associated with the musician. While the band offered well wishes for Wilson's future endeavors, the original social media post was subsequently removed.
