Sid Wilson biography

Sid Wilson is a musician and turntablist best known for his role as member 0 and the primary DJ for the heavy metal band Slipknot. Joining the masked Iowa collective in the late 1990s, he spent nearly three decades contributing signature scratching techniques, theatrical gloom, and intense stage antics to the group's sound.

In August 2026, Slipknot officially confirmed that Wilson was out of the band after 28 years, prompting him to aggressively cut digital ties with the group online.

  • Coverage of Sid Wilson is defined by major concurrent shifts in both his personal life and career, specifically his dismissal from Slipknot after nearly three decades and his high-profile split from Kelly Osbourne.
  • Media reporting focuses primarily on the aftermath of his departure from the band alongside Osbourne navigating life after their broken engagement.
