I’ve had better days, I guess, but I’m alive, so I’m doing good.”Wilson said he got the burns from a bonfire on the Iowa farm where he lives with Kelly Osbourne and their two-year-old, Sidney.A post shared by SID / Dj Starscream/Slipknot (@sidthe3rd)A post shared by SID / Dj Starscream/Slipknot (@sidthe3rd)“A few nights ago, I lit [a bonfire] and let it burn down,” he said. “So, the next day, I went to check it to see, you know, how much was left, if anything.

And there was a certain amount of debris around the side still left, so I, like a dummy, [did] what I’m not supposed to do, but I added some gas to it.”Wilson was rushed to urgent care, and then transferred to a different hospital in Des Moines, and has reassured fans on Instagram he was “going to be ok,” while joking that Osbourne was “having the Florence Nightingale effect” on him.He said was wasn’t going to allow the injury to make him depressed. “The hardest part is just feeling stupid for doing it,” he said. “It’s not even the physical part.

It’s like going, ‘Oh, man, I really learned that the hard way.’ I’ve got to make sure I just slow down sometimes and really examine the situation before I just dive in headfirst.”Slipknot released a statement on.
