“I’ve been in this business 25 years, and people are filthy all over the world”.

Slipknot are currently mourning the loss of their drummer Joey Jordison who died last month aged 46.
In a statement, Jordison’s family said this.
“Joey’s death has left us with empty hearts and feelings of indescribable sorrow”, they stated.
They also added, “To those that knew Joey, understood his quick wit, his gentle personality, giant heart, and his love for all things family and music”.
“The family of Joey have asked that friends, fans, and media understandably respect our need for privacy and peace at this incredibly difficult time”.
The remaining members of Slipnot also paid tribute to Jordison via social media including “Clown” Crahan along with Jim Root and Corey Taylor.
All three posted a single black tile on their social media accounts, in tribute to their friend and colleague.
Joseph Michael Poole aka Wednesday 13 was another former bandmate of Jordison. The pair were part of the band The Murderdolls.
