Joey Jordison previously revealed that he was suffering from a nurological disorder, called transverse myelitis, around the time of his departure from Slipknot, and he has opened up about his condition in many interviews since. Now in a new chat with AXS, he said he still isn’t sure why he got fired, and that he “would never have quit.”
He said the following when asked why the band didn’t discuss his illness in the press:
“That’s a, you know, really great question, and that’s a hard question to answer as I know that everything is publicized right now so I gotta really watch my words. The thing is, I got visited in the hospital by one member of the band when they all knew I was in there… and next thing you know, I got exited from the band. And I don’t know why. I don’t understand what the deal was. There’s been a bunch of rumors and stuff like, you know, why it was, and it is absolutely untrue… but it’s OK. Life takes you down weird paths… I came back right after I got through with this, and I came back, and I did the festivals, and I killed it. I didn’t quit Slipknot. I would never have quit Slipknot, ever. I just want the fans to know that. It’s important for everyone to know that.”
