The Rot Within: Sid Wilson's Departure Exposes Slipknot's Enduring Troubles Slipknot, one of the most iconic heavy metal bands of our time, has announced that DJ and keyboardist Sid Wilson is no longer part of the group.
This sudden exit marks yet another chapter in a saga of turmoil that has plagued the band for nearly two decades.
The departure of Wilson, who was one of the founding members joining the group in 1998, adds weight to the notion that Slipknot's troubles run far beyond simple musical differences.
