Kelly Osbourne makes huge blunder as she accidentally unmasks Slipknot’s anonymous keyboard player
IN A recent unexpected twist, Kelly Osbourne may have inadvertently revealed the identity of Slipknot’s elusive keyboard player.
Slipknot is known for keeping the identity of their band members under wraps as each of them wear unique and terrifying masks on stage.
Fans have not been certain who played the keyboard for the group since their previous player Craig Jones left last year.
But thanks to a slip up on Kelly’s social media, the internet is currently ablaze with speculation.
The TV personality posted a photo on Instagram featuring Slipknot’s iconic front man Corey Taylor.
He could be seen holding Kelly’s son Sidney in the snap.
However, what truly caught the attention of fans was the figure in the background.
Debate was sparked among the band’s fan base by their sighting of a man dressed in Slipknot’s trademark overalls.
This mysterious individual didn’t match any of the previously known faces in Slipknot’s lineup.
Some rock music lovers had previously speculated that the new keyboard player might be Zac Baird, a former member of Ghost and Korn.
Meanwhile, others were convinced that the anonymous musician was Jeff Karnowski, after spotting a photo of someone on the official Slipknot website in April which was simply titled ‘Jeff’.
Kelly Osbourne’s photo has only fueled these rumors, adding weight to the theory that Jeff Karnowski is the man behind the mask.
Whether he is now in Slipknot or not, Jeff is a musician who has ties to the band’s percussionist Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan.
He previously played alongside Shawn in his alt-rock side project called Dirty Little Rabbits.
If Jeff is the mysterious keyboard player, he would be the latest in a line of musicians from Dirty Little Rabbits to join Slipknot.
Another member of the group called Michael Pfaff joined Slipknot as a percussionist in 2021, quickly becoming known among fans as ‘Tortilla Man’ due to his distinctive mask.
Slipknot are currently celebrating the 25th anniversary of their self-titled album with a tour across North America.
They have been performing the album in full at each show.
As the band prepare to bring their high-energy performances to Europe in December, fans will undoubtedly keep a close eye on any further revelations about the keyboard player’s identity.
