Slipknot are currently touring Europe with their famously chaotic live show but they will be doing with the abrupt exit of keyboardist/sampler Craig Jones of 9-person assembled metal force. Jones has been with the Nine for 27 years. The news rolled out yesterday on top of unfortunate news that percussionist and band leader Clown sitting out these European shows to attend to a family medical issue here in the United States. The news around Jones’s exit is still unclear with the band in a statement wishing Jones the best and has many fans talking online, sharing their frustration with the hard rock institution making lineup changes.
Rockfeed reported in the video below on the new mysterious person performing in Craig Jones former role whose new mask was revealed on social media by Slipknot official yesterday.
Slipknot has been able to make successful lineup changes in the past following the sad lost of bassist Paul Grey who died in 2010, Joey Jordison who had health issues that took him out of the band before he passed away in 2021, and exits of Chris Fehn among others in the massive collective.
