Slipknot's 2023 European tour certainly got off to a weird start. An announcement that long-time keyboardist Craig Jones had left the group was posted on social media and then promptly deleted, while founding member Shaun 'Clown' Crahan announced he would be sitting out the tour, only to turn up for the band's triumphant Download Festival headline spot before once again returning to the US. Yet, the masked metal machine rolls on and the band's tour dates have gone ahead with a new mysterious masked member stepping up to replace Jones.
But while the mystery of Tortilla Man - the replacement for percussionist Chris Fehn, who departed in 2019 - endured for almost three years before his identity was revealed to be Michael Pfaff, it looks like canny Slipknot sleuths might have already figured out who is currently behind the mask on keys for the band's European tour perhaps thanks to Pfaff himself.
