Slipknot has reportedly permanently dismissed turntablist Sid Wilson, who had been part of the band since 1998. The reason for his departure is not known, and the report matters because Wilson was a long-serving member of one of metal’s most prominent bands.

Wilson, known in Slipknot as #0, provided turntable work, sound effects and background noises. He has also performed as DJ Starscream, suffered serious heel injuries during a 2008 show, and recently ended his engagement to Kelly Osbourne; the article does not link the split to his reported dismissal.
