Sid Wilson maintained a wall of silence when pressed for his status in Slipknot after being spotted over the weekend outside a Los Angeles, CA recording studio. TMZ reported this past Friday, July 31st, that Wilson has been ‘permanently’ ejected from the band, citing sources familiar with the matter. Over the weekend, neither Wilson nor the band addressed the matter publicly, though a cryptic statement was shared online by Slipknot guitarist Jim Root.
Wilson for his part did promote the launch of his merch store over the weekend on social media, but brushed off an in-person question about his current status in the masked metal phenomenon a day or two after word broke. In the below footage shared by TMZ, Wilson can be seen being confronted and asked about his status in the band, a query which he opted to ignore.
