Joey Jordison Estate Settles Lawsuit with Slipknot

The estate of late drummer Joey Jordison has reached a settlement with Slipknot after filing a lawsuit in June 2023. The estate accused the band of profiting from Jordison's death by using his name and likeness to promote their 2022 album, 'The End, So Far', and failing to return over 22 personal items promised to Jordison. Slipknot members Corey Taylor and M. Shawn 'Clown' Crahan were specifically named in the allegations, which included claims that they showcased Jordison's belongings at Knotfest events without consent. Jordison, a founding member of Slipknot, passed away in 2021 at the age of 46 after suffering from transverse myelitis. While details of the settlement remain undisclosed, a notice of unconditional settlement has been filed in court. The case highlights ongoing tensions between the band and the late drummer's estate regarding his legacy and the handling of his belongings.
