Picture: Slipknot 2024 - Official press photo
The rumors about Slipknot show no signs of stopping! The "Maggots" are once again on the hunt for the next big secret. And this time, it looks like they might have unmasked another band member. An unmasked photo could potentially reveal the successor to Craig Jones!
The crucial clue appeared on Instagram: Kelly Osbourne, daughter of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath) and girlfriend of Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson, attended the Rocklahoma Festival in Oklahoma over the weekend. In her Story, she shared some cool backstage pics, featuring members of Slipknot. In one of these photos, an unknown, unmasked person can be seen. Fans are convinced: This must be the successor to Craig Jones, who left the band in 2023.
Since April, there have been rumors among the "Maggots" that the new member could be Jeff Karnowski, the former bassist of the band Dirty Little Rabbits. Fun fact: This band was once a side project of Slipknot percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan, who also brought Michael Pfaff into Slipknot to replace Chris Fehn.
Thanks to the new photo, fans are now even more certain that Karnowski is the mysterious new member. The website ThePRP even dug up an old photo of him from the early 2000s, but it doesn’t provide definitive proof. If you're curious, check out here.
