Don't hold your breath waiting for Stone Sour to come back, because it's gonna be a while. According to drummer Roy Mayorga in an interview with WRIF, the band isn't coming off hiatus for a little while due to the busy schedule of vocalist Corey Taylor.
"It's on hiatus. It's too early to say. Corey's just getting his feet wet with his solo project right now, so we'll have to see after that. And after he's done with his solo thing, he's probably gonna go back to Slipknot and make a new record and do touring.
"They have a lot of touring to do that got cut off during the pandemic as well, so it's gonna be a while [before] Stone Sour gets back together. I can't really tell you when that's gonna happen."
Last August, Taylor was quoted as saying “We all talked as a band and decided to kinda put Stone Sour in indefinite hiatus. That’s the way it is. We’ve put it on the shelf for now. Everybody is kinda going and doing their own thing. Slipknot obviously is always gonna be the big dog, which is fine. Once everything kinda comes back to life, I’ll be wrapping that up tour-wise, but then after that I’m definitely hitting the road with the solo band to take this around the world and really show the world that other side of me.”
