Slipknot<\/a>\u00a0officially confirmed their split with Sid Wilson<\/a>\u00a0in a new statement on social media today (Aug. 14) but have since deleted the post.<\/p>\n

TMZ <\/a>first reported on the alleged split on July 31<\/a> but the band hadn’t formally acknowledged the rumors until today.<\/p>\n

“Effective immediately, Slipknot will no longer be associated with Sid Wilson. We wish him the best in his future endeavors,” the deleted statement read.<\/p>\n

The post didn’t provide any further context regarding the reason for the split. See a screenshot of the post below from before it was taken down.<\/p>\n

The initial July 31 TMZ report stated that a source close to the band revealed that Wilson had been permanently kicked out of the group that afternoon. There were no further details at the time. On Monday (Aug. 3),\u00a0the outlet shared another report\u00a0<\/a>that alleged Wilson behaved badly to his Slipknot bandmates and that the firing had been a long time coming.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the rumors spread, Slipknot’s\u00a0Jim Root<\/a>\u00a0shared a message in an\u00a0Instagram Story\u00a0that read, “Don\u2019t believe everything you read. Stop. Think. Take a breath. Sit with it for awhile.\u00a0Maybe. Just maybe even wait until there\u2019s more information.”<\/p>\n

Around the same time, Kelly Osbourne<\/a>, whom Wilson was engaged to, posted and deleted several Instagram stories<\/a> that appeared to be directed at the musician.<\/p>\n

On Aug. 12, Wilson introduced himself as<\/a>\u00a0“No. 0, from the world famous Slipknot” at the\u00a0inaugural World Scratch Invitational in Atlantic City, N.J., where he served as a co-host for the event.<\/p>\n
