So, Slipknot are convinced they are cursed. Apparently during every album launch or major tour, at least one of them ends up seriously hurt. However I don't think any of them thought lightning would strike twice, least of all DJ, Sid Wilson.
The shooting of the promo video for Slipknot's new single, Phsychosocial, had to be delayed by several hours due to Sid's first injury. A head injury cause my banging his head during some DIY work left Wilson in hospital getting 5 staples in his head, and the rest of the band simply waiting to begin.
The latest injury seemed somewhat more serious. At the opening show of Rockstar Mayhem tour, at White River Amphitheater in Auburn, Washington, Wilson miss-judged a stage jump leaving him with both his ankles badly broken.
The masked DJ now has casts on both his legs and is left in a wheelchair, yet still promises to finish the tour! So I guess they wont be pulling out of Leeds Fest....thanks god.
