Slipknot legend looks unrecognisable after huge weight loss as wife reveal his diet secrets
SLIPKNOT legend Mick Thomson looks unrecognisable these days, after his huge weight loss.
Mick, 49, joined the heavy metal band in 1996 and has enjoyed worldwide fame ever since, selling out arenas and releasing seven studio albums.
While it’s unknown how much weight he’s lost exactly, Mick’s wife Stacy Riley, 38, recently revealed the star’s diet secrets after he surprised fans with his very slimmed-down look.
She told a fan on Instagram, “He has quit drinking alcohol, stopped eating red meat, cut out most dairy and is eating mostly low fat, lots of veggies and fruit and lean protein.”
Slipknot has long been known not just for its aggressive music style but too for its image.
The heavy metal band’s attention-grabbing look is mostly down to unique masks each member dons on stage.
Mick joined Slipknot, replacing Craig Jones on guitar after he became the band’s full-time sampler.
Also known as number seven, he originally wore a hockey mask which he bought from a store during performances.
Only minor changes have been made to his mask over the years.
He is Slipknot’s third longest-serving member, and without a mask has brown hair tied back in a ponytail and a beard, and often wears dark sunglasses.
Shawn Crahan, Corey Taylor, Sid Wilson, Jim Root, Alessandro Venturella, Jay Weinberg and Michael Pfaff also make up the current roster.
