Heartbreaking: Rock band legendary Guitarist passes away at 39 years after suffering from…

Kelly Osbourne has seemingly unmasked Slipknot’s anonymous keyboard player.

The TV personality, daughter of Ozzy Osbourne and partner of Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson, made the potential slip-up in her social media stories. This week, she shared a photo of Slipknot singer Corey Taylor and her son Sidney together, but behind them is a man in Slipknot overalls that doesn’t resemble the other known members of the band.

Then, in April, the band uploaded a photo of the member to their website which had the file name “Jeff”. Fans took this as a sign that the musician was actually Jeff Karnowski, who formerly played with Slipknot percussionist Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan in alt-rock side-project Dirty Little Rabbits. The Osbourne photo has only furthered speculation that Karnowski is the mystery member.

If the rumours are true, Karnowski wouldn’t be the first former Dirty Little Rabbits member to join Slipknot. Michael Pfaff played keyboards in Dirty Little Rabbits and joined Slipknot as a custom percussionist in 2021, replacing Chris Fehn. Pfaff’s identity wasn’t confirmed by the band for some time, and the appearance of his mask led to him receiving the nickname ‘Tortilla Man’ from fans.

Earlier this year, former Sepultura drummer Eloy Casagrande joined Slipknot, replacing Jay Weinberg. The 33-year-old abruptly left his former band to pursue the role and was officially named as Slipknot’s new drummer in April.

Slipknot are currently touring North America and playing their self-titled debut album in full at each show to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The band will play across Europe in December. See the full list of dates below.
