Slipknot have parted ways with their longtime drummer Jay Weinberg, who joined the group following original drummer Joey Jordison’s departure in 2013.

“We would like to thank Jay Weinberg for his dedication and passion over the past ten years,” Slipknot wrote in their statement. Weinberg joined the band in December 2013following original drummer Joey Jordison’s departure in that same month. At the time, Jordison said he left for what he described as “personal reasons,” but in 2016 he revealedthat caused his departure. “I got really, really sick with a horrible disease called transverse myelitis. I couldn’t play anymore.
“No one can ever replace Joey Jordison’s original sound, style or energy, but Jay honored Joey’s parts and contributed to the last three albums and we, the band, and the fans appreciate it. But as ever, Slipknot is intent on evolving. The band has decided to make a creative decision, and to part ways with Jay. We wish Jay all the best and are very excited for what the future holds.”
