Slipknot's Sid Wilson Injured in Fire Incident Before Rocklahoma
DJ suffers burns from an explosion but confirms his return to the stage next weekend.
- Sid Wilson from Slipknot suffered burns on his face and arm after an accidental ’explosion.'
- Despite the injuries, he’s confirmed to perform at Rocklahoma during the ‘Here Comes The Pain’ tour next weekend.
- Sid’s partner, Kelly Osbourne, shared clips showing the incident involving a chainsaw and a burning debris pile.
Slipknot’s resident turntable wizard, Sid Wilson, found himself trading the spotlight for a hospital bed after a fiery mishap involving an “explosion” left him with burns on his face and arm. True to his style, Sid didn’t miss the chance to keep things entertaining, even while his eyebrows were crispy and his arm worse for wear.
Sharing the incident on his Instagram, he revealed just enough to paint the picture: an unfortunate encounter with flames that required a trip to the ER. Between updates, Sid joked with the hospital staff, proclaiming he might be “allergic to fire,” a punchline likely met with a mix of chuckles and headshakes from overworked nurses.

Slipknot’s official page quickly stepped in to reassure fans, proving that nothing – not even burns – can slow Sid down for long.
“Our brother Sid Wilson was in an accident today and sustained burns across his body. He’s recovering with his family and will still join us on stage at Rocklahoma next weekend. He thanks everyone for the well wishes and will see you all soon.”
Burns? Tour commitment? That’s Slipknot for you.
As for the explosion itself, details remain vague, but Sid’s partner, Kelly Osbourne (yes, that Kelly Osbourne), gave fans a glimpse into the chaos. Her Instagram story featured Sid wielding a chainsaw to clear debris—a scene that feels one step away from a horror film. Moments later, flames engulfed the same debris pile, and the next thing we know, Sid is sporting a fresh set of hospital scrubs.
Kelly summed up the fiasco with her signature bluntness:
“This is why you don’t f… with burn piles. He literally set himself on fire and exploded everything. Ugh.”
Her expression? Equal parts exasperation and I-told-you-so. One clip even shows her holding their son, Sidney, while Sid recovers in the background, a scene that screams “family life with Sid” louder than any of his Slipknot sets.
Despite the scare, Sid seems unfazed—battered, maybe, but unbroken. With Rocklahoma just around the corner, the “Here Comes The Pain” tour will march on, flames and all.
Fire might not play fair, but if anyone’s walking away from a burn pile debacle with jokes intact, it’s Sid Wilson. Here’s hoping the next “explosion” he experiences is from the crowd cheering him back on stage. Get well soon, Sid. Try not to play with fire again.
