SlipknotNo reason is known for the firing<\/p>\n

DJ and keyboardist Sid Wilson has officially been fired from Slipknot. TMZ<\/a> reports, through a source close to the band, that Wilson was notified late this afternoon (Fri, July 31st) that he\u2019s been permanently removed from the band.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear why Wilson was removed. Neither the band nor Wilson has publicly commented at this time.<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Wilson joined the band in 1998, completing the iconic nine-member lineup defined by their numbered masks. Alongside Wilson, this classic roster featured late drummer Joey Jordison, late bassist Paul Gray, percussionists\/vocalists Chris Fehn and Shawn \u201cClown\u201d Crahan, guitarists Jim Root and Mick Thomson, keyboardist\/sampler Craig \u201c133\u201d Jones, and frontman Corey Taylor. The group released their self-titled debut album with Roadrunner Records in 1999.<\/p>\n

Wilson chose his designation number of zero because he felt the number represented absolute filth and a clean slate when the band assigned numbers to members.<\/p>\n

The band formed in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1995 as a five-member group with Crahan, Gray, Jordison, percussionist Anders Colsefni, and lead guitarist Donnie Steele. That lineup recorded the rare demo\u00a0Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.<\/p>\n
