Sid Wilson<\/a>‘s exit from Slipknot may have stunned fans … but his bandmates had been ready to pull the plug for quite some time … TMZ has learned.<\/p>\n

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the decision came after the group finally had enough of Sid’s behavior … namely, the way he treated his bandmates.<\/p>\n

We’re told the firing was a long time coming — not some abrupt decision made in the heat of the moment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In fact, our sources say Slipknot was planning to announce Sid’s departure this week … but the band lost control of the rollout when we first reported Friday the group’s longtime DJ and keyboardist had been permanently kicked out.<\/p>\n

We’re told the early reveal caused the band to freak out behind the scenes … with members frustrated they could no longer announce the split on their own terms.<\/p>\n

We broke the story … Sid was informed Friday afternoon that he was officially out<\/a> after more than 25 years with the heavy metal group.<\/p>\n

He joined Slipknot in 1999 and was one of its nine original members.<\/p>\n

The firing comes on the heels of his\u00a0split<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0Kelly Osbourne<\/a>\u00a0back in March.<\/p>\n

They quietly called off their engagement … but our sources have said there’s still a chance they could get back together.<\/p>\n

Sid resurfaced<\/a> Sunday outside a Los Angeles recording studio … but he kept his head down and stayed silent when asked point-blank about the firing.<\/p>\n

Slipknot hasn’t publicly addressed Sid’s departure … but behind the masks, we’re told the breakup had been brewing for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sid Wilson’s Slipknot Firing Band Mates Were Fed Up With Him!!!
