Joey Jordison joined the group in 1995
Joey Jordison was also a founding member of the group, joining when Slipknot formed back in 1995.
The drummer, also known as #1, stayed in the band until December 12, 2013, when it was announced he left the band due to personal reasons but in a 2016 interview, he revealed he was fired.
“All I got was a stupid f***ing email saying I was out of the band that I busted my a** my whole life to f***ing create,” Jordison told Metal Hammer.
In 2016, Jordison revealed that he was diagnosed with transverse myelitis, a disease that causes inflammation in the spinal cord and as a result, Jordison lost the use of his legs.
The 46-year-old died on July 26, 2021.

Why do Slipknot wear masks?
During the band’s early days, percussionist Shaun “Clown” Crahan would turn up to rehearsals wearing a clown mask, inspiring his nickname.
By 1997, the band decided every member should wear a unique mask.
Frontman Corey Taylor told Kerrang! Radio in February 2020: “I give a lot of credit to Clown. His imagination, his vision in a lot of ways has helped shaped this for so many years.
“Obviously, we contribute and do our part but his unifying vision in a lot of ways has helped us maintain that risk, that look, that attention to detail. So even when we do big things like a reveal on the internet for new outfits, new masks and stuff, it’s still a big deal.
“Because we started from day one knowing we had to evolve, knowing that we had to stay relevant and one of the things we knew we had to do was find ways to look like a unit and do it in a way that didn’t feel forced.”
Taylor said the masks gave the band uniqueness and went against the grain of the prevailing trends in heavy metal at the time the band started out.

The Grammy-winning band made the announcement in a post on their official website last month.
“We would like to thank Jay Weinberg for his dedication and passion over the past ten years,” the statement read. “No one can ever replace Joey Jordison’s original sound, style, or energy, but Jay honored Joey’s parts and contributed to the last three albums and we, the band, and the fans appreciate it.”
What have the band said about the tour?
Speaking about the upcoming shows, Shawn Crahan, known as ‘clown’ said: “It has been 25 years since we first played on the continent, and we’ve been back ever since.
