Slipknot Briefly Announces Sid Wilson’s Exit, Then Deletes the Post

Slipknot’s official channels briefly carried a statement announcing the departure of DJ Sid Wilson. The post, which appeared without warning, wished Wilson well in his future endeavors before being deleted minutes later.

The quick removal leaves Wilson’s status with the band unclear. No follow-up statement has been published, and the band’s social accounts currently show no trace of the announcement. The sequence suggests either a premature release or an internal reversal, but no confirmation has been given for either possibility.

Wilson has been a visible presence in Slipknot’s live and recorded output for decades, known for his physical intensity and role in the group’s electronic textures. A brief, retracted farewell of this kind is unusual even for a band whose communication style has often been abrupt. For now, the only confirmed fact is that a statement existed and was removed. Everything else remains unresolved.
