You may have seen the headlines earlier today about Corey Taylor talking about how he didn't know how much longer he'd be in Slipknot. In fact, here's the direct quote:
"I’m just kind of starting to… I’m 42, I’m not young anymore and as willing as my will is, I’m just beat up man. I mean I might as well be 60 in Slipknot years for christ sake. I don’t know if I would retire, I might step away from Slipknot at some point, just because the way the music is, that sense of energy, I don’t know if I could be able to do that into my 50’s. And I would never want the band to feel like I was holding them back because I just couldn’t physically do it. So that means I wouldn’t completely quit music, I would probably just step away from Slipknot."
The quote made some assume that a lineup change was near, but Taylor took to Twitter to clarify that is not the case:
I'M NOT QUITTING SLIPKNOT.
Listen to/read interviews IN CONTEXT not out. I talk about time off. This is why I dislike 'cut n paste' journos.— Corey Taylor (@CoreyTaylorRock) February 25, 2016
So, relax! Plus, Corey said he's looking to retire around the age of 50, which is at least eight years away.
