Slipknot Guitarist Stabbed By His Brother In Fight

Slipknot guitarist Mick Thomson has reportedly been involved in a fight with his brother, which has left the muso with a stab wound in the back of his head.

As reported by Billboard, Thomson and his brother Andrew were taken to hospital yesterday after a fight at the guitarist's Iowa home. Both men sustained injuries, but according to the report, they are not life-threatening. The article also alleges that the two men appeared to be drunk when the police arrived at the scene.

Slipknot were only recently in the country for Soundwave, alongside the likes of Faith No More, Marilyn Manson and Soundgarden. They are set to head back on the road in July for headlining tour of the States.

The band released their most recent album, .5: The Gray Chapter, in October last year.
