Original story:
In the last couple of hours, Slipknot’s Sid Wilson has taken to Instagram to share a video update from the hospital, following what he describes as “an explosion in my face”.
In a five-minute-long clip that sees the DJ showing his injuries and getting treated, he announces, “Hi everybody… My face is burned, and my cheeks… I had an explosion in my face.”
Sid adds that, “I’m okay – I’m gonna be okay… But I did have some serious burns to my face and my arms.”
Trying to hold up his phone to film himself while shaking, he says that he’s “singed everywhere – my eyebrows are singed, my mouth is blistered… both my arms are pretty bad.”
It’s not clear yet exactly what happened, but with Slipknot currently on a short break amidst their Here Comes The Pain anniversary tour in North America (which kicks back off again on September 1), Sid adds that, “I don’t care what it takes, I will see you on tour.”
