Joey Jordison issues first statement
Departed Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison has provided a statement via his Facebook page, with the musician asserting he did not “quit” the masked metal band. While the band offered no official reason for Jordison’s departure initially, it now appears the split was far from amicable. Jordison writes: To my fans, friends, and associates... I would like to start the New Year by addressing the recent rumors and speculation regarding my departure from Slipknot. I want to make it very clear that I DID NOT QUIT SLIPKNOT. This band has been my life for the last 18 years, and I would never abandon it, or my fans. This news has shocked and blindsided me as much as it has all of you. While there is much I would like to say, I must remain silent to further details at this time. I would like to thank you all for your unwavering love and support, and wish everyone a very happy and healthy New Year. -Joey You can read Slipknot’s previous statement here.
