Sid 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.
Why did Sid Wilson and Kelly Osbourne call off their engagement?
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.
