Sid Wilson made it crystal clear he’s no longer associated with Slipknot by making a big change to his Instagram bio. Wilson was shockingly fired from the heavy metal band earlier this month, but Slipknot made it official Friday with a statement shared on the official Instagram account for their music festival, Knotfest.
