Craig Jones OUT! The End Of An Era For Slipknot's #5?
Did the masked enigma of Slipknot, known as Craig Jones, truly depart from the band after a staggering 27 years? The answer is a resounding yes, yet the story behind this separation is shrouded in as much mystery as the man himself.
The initial announcement, delivered via Slipknot's official social media channels on June 7th, sent shockwaves through the metal community. A simple, direct message stated that they had parted ways with Craig Jones, the band's longtime sampler and keyboardist, also recognized as #5. The statement wished Jones the best for the future. However, the plot thickened mere hours later when the announcement vanished, replaced by a photo hinting at a new, unknown member joining the ranks. This abrupt about-face only fueled the speculation and intrigue surrounding Jones's departure. Despite the deletion, at 7:15pm ET, Knotfest continued to show the announcement, hinting a sign of something between the band member and the band.
