Late last week Slipknot posted and then deleted an announcement that they had parted ways with Sid Wilson. He has since updated his Instagram bio to read @slipknot 1997-2026.
There had been recent rumblings that Sid was leaving the group but last Friday, the band seemed to confirm it when they posted "Effective immediately, Slipknot will no longer be associated with Sid Wilson. We wish him the best in his future endeavors."
That post was then deleted a short time after it was posted. Loudwire has shared a detailed chronology of the rumors including tabloid reports that can be read here
