Slipknot guitarist Jim Root responds to ongoing rumors about whether original member Sid Wilson has been kicked out of the band. Root posts a message telling fans not to “believe everything you read” and implies that people should wait for additional information before accepting claims. The comments come amid online speculation spreading across music and fan circles. Root’s remarks address the specific allegation that Wilson was removed from Slipknot, but he does not provide further details or confirmation regarding Wilson’s status. Both outlets report that Root’s guidance is essentially a call for caution and verification, rather than an announcement or denial of the rumor itself. The statements frame the situation as one where more reliable information is needed before fans form conclusions. The reports focus on Root’s public response and the broader context of unverified internet discussion about the band’s lineup.
