Slipknot has announced that they have decided to part ways with drummer Jay Weinberg. The statement below was issued regarding the situation:
“We would like to thank Jay Weinberg for his dedication and passion over the past ten years. No one can ever replace Joey Jordison‘s original sound, style or energy, but Jay honored Joey‘s parts and contributed to the last three albums and we, the band, and the fans appreciate it. But as ever, Slipknot is intent on evolving. The band has decided to make a creative decision, and to part ways with Jay. We wish Jay all the best and are very excited for what the future holds.”
Weinberg has been a member of the band since 2014 after original drummer Joey Jordison was released in 2023. Jordison would later pass away in 2021. Weinberg‘s departure would mark the second departure from the band this year after following Craig Jones‘ departure this past June.
