Joey Jordison Leaves Slipknot

by | Dec 13, 2013

We know Slipknot have a new album in the works for 2014. In shocking news, it was revealed today that drummer Joey Jordison has left the band.

The group issued this statement:

“It is with great pain but quiet respect, that for personal reasons Joey Jordison and Slipknot are parting ways. We all wish Joey the best in whatever his future holds. We understand that many of you will want to know how and why this has come to be, and we will do our best to respond to these questions in the near future. It is our love for all of you, as well as for the music we create, that spurs us to continue on and move forward with our plans for releasing new material in the next year. We hope that all of you will come to understand this, and we appreciate your continued support while we plan the next phase of the future of Slipknot.”

Will the Knot be the same without Jordison?
