Slipknot's Sid Wilson released from hospital after campfire explosion

Slipknot Sid Wilson was released from hospital after suffering severe burns in a campfire explosion on his farm.

In a video posted on August 23, the 47-year-old musician, who is married to Kelly Osbourne, assured his fans that he would recover despite the severe burns on his face and arms.

Sid Wilson explained the extent of his injuries and expressed his determination to perform at Slipknot's upcoming shows.

Wilson recently announced on Instagram that he had been hospitalized for severe burns caused by an “explosion” during a campfire accident on his farm.

The singer, who was lying in a hospital bed with an oxygen tube, calmed his fans by recounting his ordeal in a series of videos.

“Hey guys, I had an explosion in my face,” he said. “I'm OK. I'm going to be OK. But I have serious burns on my face and arms.”

While medical staff treated his injuries, the 47-year-old musician showed the extent of the damage.

“You can see the phone shaking. That's because I'm holding it in my hand and I'm shaking. They're doing additional x-rays to make sure I didn't inhale any flames,” Wilson said in the clip.

“See, I'm singed there,” he added, pointing to the injuries on his face and arms. “My eyebrows are singed. My mouth is blistered. My arm is pretty bad – both arms.”

Despite the severity of his injuries, Wilson expressed his confidence in his recovery and stressed that he will make it through and visit his fans on tour, saying, “I don't care what it costs.”

In a follow-up video shared a few hours later, Wilson appeared in what looked like an ambulance with bandages around his neck.

The “The Devil in I” hitmaker said he would be transferred “to another facility” that has better resources to treat his burns.

“You can see my lips got hit pretty bad,” Wilson noted, showing off his swollen lips, which had gotten even worse since his last video. “The worst part is my arms. They're going to shave my head, so I'm saying goodbye to the long hair. It's going away.”

Despite the severity of his condition, Wilson remained positive and reassured his fans: “I'm OK. I'm a brave guy. Not necessarily, but I'm holding up pretty well.” He added: “I'm in good hands. I just wanted to come here and let everyone know that I'm OK. Of course, if I'm talking to you here the way I'm talking to you, it's not a big deal.”

In his latest update, Wilson told his followers that he had been released from the hospital.

The singer shared a close-up photo of his face to show the severity of his injuries, with his face covered in blisters from the fiery accident.

Despite the terrible accident, Wilson managed to smile at the camera and show off his gold tooth.

He captioned the photo, “On the way home.”

One fan commented on the photo: “Burns can cause the worst pain imaginable. Take care of yourself.”

In the comments, fans sent Wilson their best wishes, with one writing: “Take some time to rest and recover well buddy. Don't go back on tour anytime soon. We'll be waiting well for your return.”

Another humorously added: “I tried to think of a joke for burn victims, but you've been grilled enough. Get well soon, brother. Hopefully they'll take you to Iowa City. The burn victims there are really good.”

“Stay strong, my man! Burns suck and hurt like hell, but you will heal and get better fast,” added another.

A fourth person noted: “Only Sid could have something like this happen and still be great.”

Wilson answered fans' questions about how he got the burns, clarifying that the injuries were not from “a show,” but rather from a “bonfire” on his farm where some “leftover” flames reignited.

“I heard a faint hissing sound – fire,” he explained, mentioning that he was “working on the farm” at the time.

Despite the accident, Wilson expressed his determination to recover in time for Slipknot's upcoming sold-out shows in California on September 13 and 14, saying, “I'll be in LA – this isn't going to stop me.”

Slipknot also has concerts planned in Oklahoma, Washington and Indiana in the coming weeks.

Although Wilson is recovering, the band's website does not indicate if any shows will be rescheduled. Slipknot is currently scheduled to perform at the Rocklahoma event on September 1st.
