Bad news arrives from Nu Metal act, Slipknot's camp stating that they maybe on their way of losing one of their members, percussionist Shawn Crahan. The reports surfaced after Shawn himself hinted to the press that he wants to leave the band so he can spend more time with his family.
Revealing his plan to depart from the metal act, Shawn said that at the moment he is confused and would love to do anything outside of the band. "I'm in a really weird place in my life right now. I'm at a point where I wouldn't say I'm having a mid-life crisis but... I'd love to be doing anything other than Slipknot right now," he said.
Moreover, Shawn also stated the reason for his departure, saying "I've never wanted to be around my family as much as I want to be around them now. My wife is in the best health she's been in for a long while and I'm enjoying watching my kids grow up." He then added, "I guess I don't know who I am any more and that's pretty scary."
Meanwhile, Slipknot themselves are busy preparing the release of their new album "All Hope Is Gone", which is set to be dropped on August 26. Promoting the upcoming record the band have already spawned their first single "Psychosocial" through radio airplay on June 26.

OMG! ur leaving shawn. Anyway I think ur doing the right thing. Families are important and always come first. I read about u on the internet and it looks like slipknot has screwed ur life up well enough. Slipknot wont be anything without ur action and stuff. Anyway I think u should quit slipknot and get a job and be a happy family member or watever. Slipknot is a really fucking kick-ass band and they have really sick masks but after a while it will turn u into something u will not want to be. I think ur children will respect u as a father if u really do leave slipknot. BUT HEY....this is only one guyz opinion.....so yeah just think about it shawn.....think about whats best for u and ur family. Happiness is the key to life....
This time let shawn go, he wants to spend more time with his family so what, Its his choice. If he wants to, let him do what he wants to do. P.S did you see the knew sufur video yet guys.
Does craig jones play keyboard or not,I cant tell. Its hard to hear from all thoes sound.Anyway, i want you to stay now
Now that your leaving how is slipknot going to play now, if they get a replacement for him he will just fucking screw up
Oh yeah and the last thing i read in a bio somewhere you started a band that evolved into what Slipknot is today.
Dude if you leave you will fuck up the greatest band in the world...just because Chris plays the same thing doesn't mean the band will make it without you.
WHY are you leaving motherfucker.... you are doing the best fucking music ever with your screaming action with Chris... man don't leave just.. don't do too many tour... and it will be allright... when you came to montreal i was there and you fucking kick ass!!!!! don't leave we love you
God, You people are fucking stupid.

they've said if a member of slipknot ever did leave they'd stop making music.
Well,slipknot fan has apoint, you hardly do anything,but i want you to stay because if they hire someone they will forget about you,and besides that person will mabey screw up on stuff.and "nigger", what shawn smaks on is not shit.YOU ARE
some say they dont care,i agree.You hardly didnt do anything.I see you get on the drum and start goining idont know crazy.god that your leaving
:(.i had no idei you were leaving!
shame.
You sucked and didnt do anything anyways. Joey is the real drummer you just smack shit
I understand that Shawn needs to leave and spend time with his family,but he has millions of fans that he cant leave either.My opinion is that he take along break.It will break lots of fan hearts if he does leave.
I know the sound wont change but Clown is the person who writes the songs and the masks!Its not going to be the same without him Maggot4life
i like slipknot but i also like other bands like coal chamber,arch enemy and disturbed
fuck you for leaving.fuck you!fuck you!
sorry about when i didnt care about you leaving.i reliz if that were me i would feel sad.so fuck myself for not caring.fuck me!!!!
I relized that shawn aint leaving SLIPKNOT,i see videos on youtube and see shawn crahan in mostly all the video.And i also saw him in the word tour in 2009.i found about it in 2008.Are you really leaving,if not,FUCK YOU FOR LYING.
WHO GIVES A SHIT... i mean your a fucking clown for fuck sake.. get a job YA BUM
shawn i know its hard to leave.. but im leaving office,so i know how you feel man.maybe we can catch up and smoke some weed or something.. i love you
shawn, after the tours with slipknot, i recommende that you take a big fat break. but you shoudn't leave this band. your a legend, your a awsome musician, director, photographer, videographer, and i tell you, even if your life might be unstable (temporarly, i hope) you shoudn't leave. i myself have sometimes douts about music, but i tell myself why should i leave behind something i love, even if im fed up with it? there are lots of different ways of getting better, and one of them, is to take a big musical break, and do nothing related to music. but please, dont leave this band
i know what your job can be.here is a list!you can be a ganitor or you can be a presedint next time so you can have lots of $.
