TMZ says Sid Wilson was kicked out of Slipknot because of the way he treated his bandmates — and that Slipknot was planning to announce his departure themselves this week.

The follow-up went up Monday, August 3, 2026, three days after TMZ first reported Wilson was permanently out. The sourcing changed between the two stories: Friday it was one source close to the band, Monday it was sources with direct knowledge. They say the firing was a long time coming, not a heat-of-the-moment decision, and that the band lost control of the rollout when the news leaked early.

TMZ describes no specific incident and names no source.
