Weinberg says he was blindsided after planning hip surgery during a break in touring: “I woke up the morning after traveling home from our last show together, and I received a phone call… the band had made a decision to not renew my contract at the end of the year. My world just kind of bottomed out.” He described the year as “extraordinarily tense” and admitted: “Maybe I became a scapegoat for certain things.” Reflecting on his decade with Slipknot, Weinberg added: “This was my singular focus for 10 years. I applied myself in every way possible… and I’m left with no explanation, just that ‘It’s a creative decision and you’re no longer the drummer in Slipknot.’”
