Slipknot’s Sid Wilson Hospitalized After Fire Explosion: ‘This Is Why You Don’t F— With Burn Piles’
Slipknot‘s Sid Wilson is on the mend after being involved in a fire accident.

On Friday (Aug. 23), the 47-year-old heavy metal DJ revealed in a pair of videos on social media that he suffered “serious burns” on his face and arms after trying to stoke a bonfire on the Iowa farm he shares with girlfriend Kelly Osbourne.

“My face is burnt and my cheeks,” Wilson said in a clip from his hospital bed. “I had an explosion in my face.”
After giving a close-up of his injuries, which included charred eyebrows, a blistered lip and burn marks on his arms, the musician assured fans that he was recovering from the incident, despite having a shaky hand while recording the clip on his cell phone.
