The wife of SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor, Alicia Taylor, has been focusing on supporting her husband since his former bandmate Joey Jordison died.
The founding SLIPKNOT drummer’s family confirmed that Jordinson passed away “peacefully in his sleep” on Monday (July 26) of an unspecified cause. He was 46 years old.
On Thursday, Alicia, who is a member of the all-girl dance group CHERRY BOMBS, wrote on her Twitter: “As a fan, the news of of Joey has been heartbreaking, but I haven’t had much time to process it yet. My focus has been supporting my husband, and pouring into our family.
“Things are tough, but they will get better in time- one day at a time.
“Rest easy, Joey.”
Corey has yet to publicly comment on Joey’s death, however he and the rest of SLIPKNOT posted a black box on their social media sites in mourning.
As a fan, the news of of Joey has been heartbreaking, but I haven’t had much time to process it yet. My focus has been supporting my husband, and pouring into our family.
Things are tough, but they will get better in time- one day at a time.
Rest easy, Joey. ????
