Slipknot has permanently removed Sid Wilson from the band, ending his 27-year tenure as the group's DJ and keyboardist, according to a report published Friday.
A source with direct knowledge of the situation told TMZ that Wilson received notification of his removal late Friday afternoon, July 31, 2026. The circumstances that prompted the band's decision have not been disclosed.
Wilson joined Slipknot as one of nine original members when the band formed in 1999. His departure marks another change to the group's founding lineup, as he becomes the latest original member to exit the band.
The timing of Wilson's removal follows his personal split from Kelly Osbourne in March 2026. The couple quietly ended their engagement during that period, though sources indicated at the time that reconciliation remained a possibility.
Neither Slipknot nor Wilson has issued a public statement regarding the separation. The band has not provided additional details about the decision or its timing.
