Slipknot’s Sid Wilson is currently in the hospital after suffering burns in an explosion. The DJ revealed the shocking news in a new video update.

Wilson said the following:

“Hi everybody… My face is burned, and my cheeks… I had an explosion in my face. I’m okay – I’m gonna be okay… But I did have some serious burns to my face and my arms.”

He went on to say he is “singed everywhere”:

“My eyebrows are singed, my mouth is blistered… both my arms are pretty bad.”

Despite this, he is determined to return to the stage:

“I don’t care what it takes, I will see you on tour.”

In follow-up video, Wilson also revealed that he was being transported to a “better facility because they have a better burn place there.” He later added:

“If I’m on here talking to you the way I am, it’s not terrible. I will say, I do know better. So, everyone out there, be really safe when you’re messing with fire. [It’s] something I’ve dealt with tons of times. Of course, the one time I second guessed and go, ‘Oh, I’ll be all right…”

Wilson’s wife Kelly Osbourne also discussed the situation on her Instagram story:

“This is why you don’t fuck with burn piles. He literally set himself on fire and exploded everything.”

Slipknot issued a statement as well:

“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.”
