Slipknot's Corey Taylor Gets Paul Gray Tattoo

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has got a tattoo in tribute to the metal band's late bassist Paul Gray.

Taylor had the new inking done by friend Ami James, who is also the star of tattoo reality show Miami Ink.

Taylor's visit to James was filmed for the programme and will be broadcast on June 9 on US TV, reports Blabbermouth.

In a preview clip of the programme, Taylor says: “I am getting a tribute piece to my bass player. I miss him so much."

Gray  died of an accidental over dose last year. The 38-year-old was one of the original members of the band, which formed in Des Moines in 1995.

Slipknot are due to play Sonisphere Festival in July, although their long-term future is unclear.
