The speculation surrounding Sid Wilson’s reported status with Slipknot continues, with another person close to the band drawing attention after sharing a cryptic message on social media.
Stacy Thomson, wife of Slipknot guitarist Mick Thomson, recently posted a message to her Instagram Stories that many fans believe was connected to the ongoing rumors surrounding Wilson’s future with the band.
While Stacy did not directly mention Sid Wilson or Slipknot, the timing of the post has led many fans to believe it was a reaction to the reports circulating online. The message appeared to take a humorous approach toward the spread of rumors and unconfirmed information.
Stacy shared:
“My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it’s pretty serious.”
Followed by:
Questions about my reference? Don’t believe everything you read on the internet, kids! (And yes Ferris buellers day off is a great movie)
The post comes as fans continue searching for answers following a report from TMZ claiming that Sid Wilson had allegedly been removed from Slipknot.
According to the report, Wilson was informed Friday afternoon that he was no longer part of the band, though no reason behind the reported decision was disclosed.
Wilson, who joined Slipknot in 1997, has remained one of the group’s most recognizable members and has played an important role in the band’s sound and live performances for nearly three decades.
At this time, neither Slipknot nor Sid Wilson has publicly confirmed the report, leaving his status with the band officially unconfirmed.
The only response from within the Slipknot camp so far came from guitarist Jim Root, who encouraged fans to remain patient and avoid immediately believing every rumor circulating online.
Root shared:
“Don’t believe every thing you read. Stop. Think. Take a breath. Sit with it for awhile. Maybe. Just maybe even wait until there’s more information.”
As speculation continues to spread, fans are waiting for an official statement from either Slipknot or Sid Wilson regarding the situation.
Until then, Wilson’s reported status with the band remains unclear.
