Slipknot percussionist Chris Fehn has left the band. This was made official in a statement on their website:

“Slipknot’s focus is on making album #6, and our upcoming shows around the world, our best ever. Chris knows why he is no longer a part of Slipknot. We are disappointed that he chose to point fingers and manufacture claims, rather than doing what was necessary to continue to be a part of Slipknot. We would have preferred he not take the path that he has, but evolution in all things is a necessary part of this life – Long Live The Knot.”

We will have to wait to see if Slipknot will replace Chris for their upcoming world tour with Metallica.

In the meantime check out the video for their latest single “All Out Life“.
