This happens after percussionist Chris Fehn filed a law suit against the band. Here’s the complete statement: “Slipknot’s focus is on making album #6, and our upcoming shows around the world, our best ever. Chris knows why he is no longer a part of Slipknot. We are disappointed that he chose to point fingers and manufacture claims, rather than doing what was necessary to continue to be part of Slipknot. We would have preferred he not take the path that he has, but evolution in all things is a necessary part of this life. Long Live The Knot!" ------------------------------- More about Chris Fehn: Christopher Michael "Chris" Fehn (born February 24, 1973), or formally known by his number 3, is an American musician, formally best known as one of the two percussionists of the Grammy Award-winning heavy metal band Slipknot and is the former bassist for the band Will Haven. Fehn was born in Des Moines, Iowa and grew up in Ankeny, Iowa. Prior to joining Slipknot, he played as a kicker on the Wayne State University Football team. Fehn joined the band around July 1998, replacing percussionist Brandon Darner. Fehn stands 6'1" in height and is of Norwegian descent. As well as lending his percussion talents to the band, Fehn has also sung backing vocals on a number of songs Slipknot has both recorded and performed live. Outside Slipknot, Fehn is a very keen golfer, and evidences this on the band's 2006 DVD, Voliminal: Inside the Nine, where he is interviewed while playing golf. Fehn describes himself as a "big fan of the band" and says of Slipknot, "the world needed something like this." Slipknot bassist Paul Gray stated in an interview that Fehn "often brings humor to the band." and that they "definitely need that guy." Prior to joining Slipknot in 1998, Fehn was close friends with Slipknot's percussionist Shawn Crahan. According to Fehn, he had originally asked Crahan if he could be drummer Joey Jordison's drum tech. Shortly after his request was made, Fehn was given an offer to play percussion in the band. Fehn was then given a rough demo that contained all of Slipknot's songs. Fehn has said that "Spit It Out" was the song that stood out to him the most. Fehn then tried out on percussion and was subsequently made part of Slipknot. Of the nine members, Fehn was the eighth to join the band. In the early years of Slipknot before their signing with Roadrunner Records, Fehn was an electrician. In an interview with Face Culture, Fehn stated that the band members gave him a hard time during his early years with the band. He described that his time during the self-titled album era was his "hazing period." His mask was featured in the movie Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay. ------------------------------- More from Headbangerz Club: Subscribe for more metal and rock ► http://bit.ly/2COYg6h Spotify ► https://spoti.fi/2RJ6til Metal and Rock Shop ► https://www.iwanthisnow.com Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/headbangerzclub Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/headbangerzclub Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/headbangerzclub Twitter ► https://www.twitter.com/headbangerzclub #ChrisFehn #SlipknotFiresChrisFehn
