Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson was hospitalized after suffering serious burns from what he described as ‘an explosion in his face.’
In a video shared on social media yesterday, August 23rd, he provided an update from the hospital, stating: “Hey everybody. I had an explosion in my face. I’m OK. I’m gonna be OK. But I did have some serious burns to my face and my arms.” He later added, “I’m gonna be alright you guys and I don’t care what it takes, I will see you on tour.”
In an Instagram story shared by his wife, Kelly Osbourne, she revealed that Wilson sustained the injury while managing burn piles on their farm. On her Instagram stories, Osbourne remarked, “this is why you don’t f**k with burn piles. He literally set himself on fire and exploded everything.”
In his own video, Wilson explained that he sustained the injuries from a “bonfire” on his farm. He mentioned that the burn pile had already been burned the night before, but there were still some remnants left. He added, “I got a little woosh of fire.”
Wilson‘s bandmates in Slipknot also issued a statement about the situation, saying: “Our brother Sid Wilson was in an accident today and sustained burns across his body. He’s recovering with his family and will still join us on stage at Rocklahoma next weekend. He thanks everyone for the well wishes, and will see you all soon.”
