Summary
Sid Wilson resurfaced on social media with a video plugging his updated independent store, sidthe3rdshop.com, but gave no direct answer on reports that he was ousted from Slipknot.
TMZ said July 31 that Wilson was “permanently” fired and learned of it that afternoon, a move that would end a role he had held since the late 1990s if confirmed.
Jim Root added to the uncertainty with a cryptic post urging fans not to believe everything they read, while Mick Thomson’s wife echoed the same message with a Ferris Bueller rumor quote.
Neither Wilson nor Slipknot has officially confirmed the split, leaving fans parsing social posts as speculation spreads from the band’s future to Wilson’s recent breakup with Kelly Osbourne.
