Former Slipknot Drummer Joey Jordison Had to Be ‘Carried to the Stage’ for Final Shows

Earlier this week, former Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison revealed that the reason he left the metal band in December 2013 was due to a battle with transverse myelitis, an inflammatory disease that is a form of multiple sclerosis. In a new interview, Jordison goes into further detail on his final, physically painful shows with Slipknot three years ago.

“It was at the end of the memorial shows we did for Paul Gray,” Jordison tells Metal Hammer. “We were in Canada, at the end of my last run of shows with Slipknot, and something happened to me but I didn’t know what it was. I was super ill.”
