Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson has revealed he’s been hospitalized due to an explosion. Wilson apparently suffered severe burns on his arms and face when he was lighting a burn pile while working on his farm.
“Hey everybody. I had an explosion in my face,” Wilson said via Instagram while nurses tended to him. “I’m OK. I’m gonna be OK. But I did have some serious burns to my face and my arms. You can see the phone shaking because I’m holding it, and I am shaking. They’re doing X-rays of my chest right now to make sure I didn’t inhale the flame.”
He continued: “I’m singed everywhere. My eyebrows are singed. My mouth is blistered. My arm is pretty bad. Both my arms. I’m gonna be alright. And I don’t care what it takes. I will see you on tour.”
Wilson’s girlfriend, Kelly Osbourne, added in an Instagram story: “This is why you don’t f*ck with burn piles. He literally set himself on fire and exploded everything.”
The video of a clearly rattled Wilson can be seen below. Slipknot is scheduled to perform Sept. 1 at the Roklahoma festival before several dates in the western United States later that month.
