SLIPKNOT FUTURE UNDECIDED AFTER BASSIST’S DEATH
SLIPKNOT have yet to decide whether or not to continue as a band followin g the death of bandmate PAUL GRAY - because recording and performing agai n without the bassist is almost unthinkable.
The heavy rocker, 38, was found dead in a suburban Des Moines, Iowa hot el on 24 May (10). Toxicology and final autopsy reports have revealed Gra y died from an accidental overdose.
His Slipknot bandmates have been left devastated by the tragedy and gui tarist Jim Root insists the group needs time to grieve before even contem plating continuing to make music together.
He says, "There’s going to be a big healing process that needs to happe n before we even think about whether or not Slipknot will continue. And r ight now that’s the furthest thing from our mind.
"Right now we are just grieving or trying to find time to grieve anyway for the fact that our bro’s gone. It’s weird because some days I don’t e ven think it’s real, so that one’s not going to make sense for a while." Root adds it will be "probably two years at least" before the band regr oups.
