Sid Wilson is an American DJ, keyboardist, and turntablist best known as member "#0" of the multi-platinum heavy metal band Slipknot, which he joined in 1998 to shape their signature nu-metal sound with chaotic scratches, samples, and an unpredictable, stage-diving live presence. Performing solo electronic and jungle music under the alias DJ Starscream, Wilson has balanced a heavy touring schedule with a high-profile personal life, including a previous relationship and engagement with Kelly Osbourne—with whom he shares a son named Sidney—and a recovery from a severe bonfire explosion on his farm in August 2024. Most recently, his status within Slipknot has become a focal point of intense fan speculation following a July 31, 2026, TMZ report claiming he was permanently fired from the group, which prompted a swift, cryptic social media pushback from bandmate Jim Root warning fans not to believe everything they read amid the lack of an official statement from management.
