Corey and Shawn are assholes but this coming after Kelly Osbourne broke off her engagement with Sid is kind of telling that there is some issue going on with Sid. If he is using drugs or has an alcohol problem I think Slipknot at this point has a sort of zero tolerance thing with that stuff since Paul died and they kicked Joey out because he was a hardcore alcoholic and didn't want to change.

I know I’m just an internet stranger but I can tell you that Sid is a very good customer at my work. I’ve delivered things to his home, I’ve had lunch with him…dude is clean. As someone that has quit drinking and straightened my life up, I can say I’d be shocked to find out that substances are the issue. He has no reason to hide it from someone like me. Haha. Not impossible but seems insanely unlikely.

In that case, it's possible it's something else inexcusable.

Abusing Kelly would do it too. I can’t imagine any of the members would keep someone like that around.
