Founding Slipknot percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan will miss the band's upcoming shows due to his wife's health. We wish the entire Crahan family all the best at this time, and look forward to seeing him back on the road with the band as soon as possible.
"Hello to all of our fans, it's the clown. I would like to take a moment to tell everyone that I'm back home supporting my wife through some health issues, and I'll be back on the road as soon as I can.
"We've been through this before and as always, we appreciate the love and support. See all of you very soon. Thank you."
