Slipknot have paid tribute to their founding member and former drummer Joey Jordison, who has died aged 46. The musician died in his sleep, his family said in a statement, asking for "peace and privacy" at this time.
No cause of death has been given. On social media, Slipknot shared a black square as a sign of mourning for their founding member.
Born in Des Moines, Iowa, Jordison co-founded The Pale Ones, who became Slipknot in 1995, along with Shawn Crahan and bassist Paul Gray.
He featured on the heavy metal band’s first release, Mate. Kill. Feed. Repeat, and their self-titled debut album, which went platinum in the UK and entered the Official Albums Chart Top 40.
