He revealed in the clips that he suffered a few burns on his face and arms because of an explosion that emerged from a bonfire at his farm. He also stated that he was "allergic to fire" and added,

"My eyebrows are signed. My mouth is blistered. My arms [are burnt] pretty bad – both my arms. I'm gonna be alright, you guys and I don't care what it takes, I will see you on tour."

Sid Wilson's partner Kelly Osbourne shared more updates from the hospital

In the second video posted by Sid Wilson, he said that he was being taken to another facility and took the camera close to his lips, which appeared to be burned. He said that his hair would be shaved for further treatment, adding that he was fine. He continued,

"I will say, I do know better. So, everyone out there, be really safe when you're messing with fire. [It's] something I've dealt with tons of times. Of course, the one time I second guessed and go, 'Oh, I'll be all right…'"

While further updates are currently awaited on the incident leading to the injuries, Sid Wilson's partner Kelly Osbourne shared a few posts on her Instagram Story, where Wilson could be spotted cleaning some debris with a chainsaw, and the debris pile was later on fire.

Kelly even shared another video where she was holding her son Sidney and Sid appeared in the background where the doctors were taking care of him. Kelly was also heard saying in the clip,

"This is why you don't f*ck with burn piles. He literally set himself on fire and exploded everything."

Slipknot shared a statement on their Instagram page, saying that Sid Wilson is slowly recovering and would join the band next weekend for a performance at Rocklahoma.
