Slipknot’s Sid Wilson was rushed to the hospital after a bonfire mishap on his farm, leaving him with severe burns on his face and arms.

The 47-year-old turntablist, known for his wild performances, had a close call when the unexpected explosion sent flames his way last week.

Kelly Osbourne, his 39-year-old girlfriend and daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, also shared a warning message to fans saying her boyfriend “literally set himself on fire.”
