Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleSid Wilson is currently making headlines for his shocking removal from Slipknot after nearly three decades with the iconic nu-metal band. The exit of the American DJ and keyboardist is reportedly permanent, and there is no chance of his comeback. According to reports from TMZ, sources close to the group confirmed that Sid was notified of his dismissal on July 31, 2026.
Neither Slipknot nor Sid Wilson have released official statements regarding the exact cause of the creative split. The sudden blow must have landed harder on Sid, as it came just months after his breakup from his ex-fiancée Kelly Osbourne. Amid that, let's take a lookback at what led to the high-profile breakup.
Sid Wilson and Kelly Osbourne got engaged in early July 2025, and they quietly split after about eight months in March 2026. The duo was reported to have been facing issues in their relationship for quite some time before they decided to call it quits officially. One of the prime reasons was Kelly's immense grief over the loss of her father, Ozzy Osbourne. Following the legendary singer's demise, his daughter became a changed person.
Due to the emotional toll, it ultimately made it too difficult for Kelly Osbourne to maintain her relationship with Sid Wilson. At that time, she was navigating the loss of her dad as well as the brutal media and public scrutiny regarding her extreme weight loss, caused by gastric sleeve surgery, post-pregnancy diet, and the mental strain she faced following her father's passing.
According to insiders, Kelly and Sid had several problems, leading to a strained relationship. The source also noted that they seemed like a happy couple in public, but they were silently dealing with a lot. The insider further noted that "things were not as they appeared" behind closed doors. After prolonged issues, the former couple decided that rather than continuing to force the relationship, they should mutually part ways, which would be good for them as well as their son, Sidney.
Sid Wilson (born Sidney George Wilson) was a DJ and keyboardist for the Grammy Award-winning metal band Slipknot. Widely known by his stage name, '#0', Sid has been an important member of the band since the late 1990s. He is known for his thrilling performances and his experimental style, which blends metal with electronic music.
In Slipknot, Sid has been known to handle the sound effects and electronic elements, creating horror sounds through varied layers that define Slipknot's music. Once in an interview with Louder Sound.com, Sid Wilson revealed the craziest thing he ever did on stage. He shared that there have been a lot of crazy balcony jumps. Explaining the thrill, he stated:
"I go up there and think, 'Man, that'd look great!' I climb up the backstairs and scope it out before the show. People are generally five-and-a-half feet tall, then they put their arms in the air, and that's another couple of feet, so you can subtract that from your fall."
Sid shared another unexpected thing he once did as a DJ. He revealed in the same interview that when he was in school, he used to hate drugs, as he knew what the lasting effects they have on one's body. Smoking a joint or having a beer was not his thing. While he abstained from addictions, he did give in to one strange experience, i.e., performing at a strip club. Sid Wilson revealed:
"I DJ'd in a strip bar before. I got hired to play at party and they didn't tell me anything about it, so I thought it was just a club. I played the set and there were people on the dancefloor, but in the background you could see the strippers on the poles."
