Corey Taylor: Slipknot Could End After Upcoming Tour

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has hinted that the group might finish after their upcoming tour.

The group are due to play as series of European dates this summer – their first since the death of bassist Paul Gray last year.

But there is uncertainty over the band's long-term future.

Taylor has maintained that the group would use the forthcoming dates as a litmus test for future plans, while Joey Jordison said recently Slipknot would exist “with Corey or without him”.

In an interview with the US radio station WGRD Radio, Taylor said: "I’m not going to spoonfeed false hope to the fans: if this tour doesn’t work, the band might be over – straight up.

“And I'm not gonna lie; I'm not the guy that's going to lie to the fans.”

Slipknot's summer tour dates include an appearance at the Sonisphere festival in Knebworth.
