Besides lead singer Corey Taylor, Sid Wilson, the man who controls the turntables and keyboards, might just be the most recognizable Slipknot member to the average fan. This is mainly due to his relationship with Kelly Osbourne, the daughter of metal god Ozzy Osbourne. They met all the way back in 1999, when Slipknot was just finding their footing. It's unclear when they started dating, but they revealed their relationship in early 2022. They welcomed their first child later that year, a boy named Sidney.
Wilson's mask has undergone many changes throughout the years, starting out as mainly a gas mask before morphing into various skulls. He has also experimented with masks that look like nods to the Transformers (pictured above), as he is a big fan of the series. In addition to playing in Slipknot, Wilson also has a solo career under the moniker DJ Starscream, which pays homage to the Transformers, too.
Wilson joined the band prior to the release of their self-titled album and has been with them ever since. During an interview with Revolver, Wilson revealed that in order to make an impression on band founder Shawn "Clown" Crahan, he head-butted Crahan repeatedly at an early Slipknot concert, showing his dedication and convincing Crahan on the spot to make him a member of the band.
