Joey Jordison releases new statement, I DID NOT QUIT SLIPKNOT

Update on our past last month with the news about Joey Jordison and Slipknot parting ways….

Today Joey Jordison took to Facebook to release the following statement:

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

We just received the word that drummer Joey Jordison and Slipknot have parted ways. On the Slipknot website  there was the following post:

To our Maggots and fans around the world, It is with great pain but quiet respect, that for personal reasons Joey Jordison and Slipknot are parting ways. We all wish Joey the best in whatever his future holds. We understand that many of you will want to know how and why this has come to be, and we will do our best to respond to these questions in the near future. It is our love for all of you, as well as for the music we create, that spurs us to continue on and move forward with our plans for releasing new material in the next year. We hope that all of you will come to understand this, and we appreciate your continued support while we plan the next phase of the future of Slipknot. Thank you, The ‘Knot

We do know that Joey has been very busy with one of his other bands, Scar the Martyr and we do look forward to see what is next in store for Slipknot as well as Joey. You can read our post about Scar the Martyr here. 

We are excited to continue to hear about Slipknot getting closer to releasing a new album in 2014! ~ Marisol
