Slipknot Rocker Sid Wilson Suffers Severe Burns: Kelly Osbourne Shares Emotional Update
Slipknot’s DJ, Sid Wilson, was rushed to the hospital last week after suffering second-degree burns to his face and arms. The accident occurred on the Iowa farm where Sid lives with his wife, Kelly Osbourne, and their two-year-old son, Sidney. The incident left Sid with severe injuries, leading to an outpouring of support from fans and loved ones. Now, Kelly has provided a heartfelt and emotional update on her husband’s recovery, revealing the painful extent of his injuries and how they are coping together.
The Accident: Sid Wilson’s Frightening Experience
The 47-year-old rocker, known for his intense performances as Slipknot’s DJ Starscream, was involved in what Kelly Osbourne described as an “explosion” on their farm. The exact details of the explosion remain unclear, but it resulted in second-degree burns to Sid’s face, neck, and arms. The injuries were severe enough that Sid had to be rushed to the hospital for immediate treatment.
Sid later took to Instagram to share his experience, posting pictures from his hospital bed that showed the aftermath of the accident. His arms, cheeks, and lips were blistered, red, and inflamed. Nurses were seen dressing his wounds in the photos, a stark reminder of the physical toll the incident had taken on him. Despite the gravity of the situation, Sid maintained his sense of humor, joking with fans about the effects of the fire.
Kelly Osbourne’s Emotional Update
As Sid continues to heal, Kelly has been by his side, helping him through the recovery process. The former The Osbournes star shared a series of updates on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse into how the couple is handling the situation.
In one video, Kelly filmed Sid while they were in the car, playfully asking him to smile for the camera. Although Sid tried to respond, his voice was barely audible, and his face still showed the painful effects of the burns. His skin appeared red and blistered, a visible reminder of the accident.
Despite the seriousness of the situation, Kelly attempted to lift Sid’s spirits by treating him to a pedicure, something he had never experienced before. In another video, the couple is seen at a beauty salon with Kelly excitedly explaining that Sid was about to get his first pedicure. Although the mood was lighthearted, it was clear that the recovery process was still ongoing.
Sid’s Recovery and Social Media Posts
Sid himself has been sharing updates with his fans, providing a mixture of humor and honesty about his injuries. In one post, he revealed that the fire had singed off his mustache, an unintended consequence of the accident. He joked about the situation, saying that the flames had taken care of shaving his facial hair for him.
“Got my eyebrows done for free,” Sid quipped during an Instagram Live session, referring to the fact that the fire had burned off his eyebrows. He also mentioned that he now had some “real sideburns” thanks to the flames and humorously added, “My lips got f***** up pretty good. It’s cheap Botox.”
Though Sid has maintained a lighthearted approach, Kelly has been more emotional and serious about the incident. In one Instagram post, she called out her husband’s behavior, writing, “This is why you don’t f*** with burn piles.” She followed up with, “He literally set himself on fire [and] exploded everything.” The post featured a frustrated-looking Kelly holding her hand to her forehead, with an “I have no words” sticker added to emphasize her disbelief.
In the background of the same post, Sid could be seen lying in his hospital bed, scrolling through his phone while recovering from the burns. The image of Kelly’s frustration and Sid’s bandaged body highlighted the severity of the accident and the emotional toll it has taken on both of them.
A Serious Incident with Lasting Impact
As Sid continues to recover, he has been candid about the extent of his injuries. In a video message shared on Instagram, he explained what had happened, saying, “Hi, everybody. I had an explosion in my face. I’m ok, I’m gonna be ok, but I did have some serious burns to my face and my arms.”
Sid also mentioned that he would need to undergo an X-ray to determine whether he had inhaled any flames during the explosion. This concern added another layer of seriousness to the incident, as inhaling fire could lead to complications with his respiratory system. “I’m singed everywhere. Eyebrows are singed. My mouth is blistered. My arms [are] pretty bad. Both of my arms,” he added.
The rocker’s willingness to share his experience with fans, despite the pain he is enduring, has been met with overwhelming support from the Slipknot community. Fans have flooded his social media with messages of encouragement, wishing him a speedy recovery and offering their thoughts and prayers.

Fans from around the world have sent messages of support, expressing their relief that Sid is expected to make a full recovery and offering words of encouragement for both him and Kelly.

She has also thanked the medical professionals who have been caring for Sid, noting that their expertise has been crucial in helping him heal from the severe burns.
Looking Ahead
