Slipknot musician Sid Wilson is on the road to recovery after a frightening incident on his farm over the weekend. Despite enduring some serious injuries, Wilson assures fans that he will bounce back from his encounter with a fiery mishap.
Speaking exclusively to Fox News Digital, Wilson described the aftermath of the accident, revealing that his face had suffered extensive burns. "My face is basically melted," he shared, emphasizing the severity of the damage. Wilson's right arm is now bandaged up, while his left arm has also sustained burns. His facial burns extend from the nose down, leaving him visibly scarred.
The incident occurred as Wilson was tending to a burn pile on his property. "A few nights ago, I lit it and let it burn down," he explained. Curiosity got the better of him the next day and he approached the remaining debris. Acting against safety guidelines, Wilson made the ill-fated decision to add some gasoline to ignite the pile by hand.
With the lingering humidity, a volatile mix of fumes ignited, causing a sudden explosion. "It was really humid out so there was still a lot of vapors lingering around in there, and it just... woof," Wilson recounted, expressing the intensity of the blast.
Despite the pain and recovery process, Wilson remains determined to stay positive. "I'm not going to let it get me depressed," he declared. In fact, he seems confident in his ability to overcome this setback. "I always find a way to pull it off," Wilson affirmed, alluding to his relentless spirit and resilience.

With his unwavering determination, it is only a matter of time before Wilson once again mesmerizes crowds with his extraordinary talent.
Undoubtedly, Wilson's experience serves as a powerful reminder about the importance of fire safety. As Wilson himself stressed, "Don't (expletive) around with fire. It's going to win every time."
