AceShowbiz - Slipknot's Clown has "completely torn" his bicep.
The percussionist, real name M. Shawn Crahan, was forced to miss the group's performance at Welcome to Rockville in Florida on Thursday (11Nov21) after undergoing surgery for the injury, which he sustained during the "Wait and Bleed" hitmakers' set at Knotfest in Los Angeles on 5 November.
Sharing a video of the group on stage at Knotfest, Clown wrote on Instagram, "If you look close enough you can pinpoint the exact frame where clown completely tore the bicep tendon from the radial tuberosity with proximal retraction, proximal to the coronoid fossa of the humerus."
"You may have realized I was not on stage in Florida with my brothers and my culture. For this fact I am saddened. I had surgery today in Los Angeles, everything went great and I am recovering peacefully. (sic)"
Shawn is looking forward to returning to the stage soon, admitting he had felt "happy and blessed" to be back performing after so long without playing live because of the coronavirus pandemic.
He continued, "I can't express how happy and blessed I am to have been able to come back to touring after all that we as a community have been through the last couple years. And I promise we will see you all very soon. Thank you."
"Hail The Knot(sic)"
