Summary
Wilson confirmed he is out of Slipknot by changing his Instagram bio to “@slipknot 1997-2026,” ending days of conflicting signals around his status.
TMZ first reported on July 31 that the longtime turntablist had been permanently ejected, later saying his treatment of bandmates drove the dismissal.
Slipknot’s camp had pushed back on those reports, then briefly announced Wilson’s firing on August 14 before walking the statement back.
Wilson was one of Slipknot’s core classic-era nine members and became known for his turntables and high-risk stage antics during the band’s live shows.
