He stayed with the band through 2013 when left the band for what he described at the time as “personal reasons.” A few years later, he revealed that the reason he exited the band was a neurological disease. “I got really, really sick with a horrible disease called transverse myelitis, I lost my legs,” he told the audience at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards in 2016, according to NME. “I couldn’t play anymore. It was a form of multiple sclerosis, which I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I got myself back up, and I got myself in the gym and I got myself back in fucking therapy, to fucking beat this shit.” At the time, he said he was rededicating himself to music with a new band called Vimic.

Life is a bitch and will getcha in the end.

Hit me like a ton of bricks...

Slipknot is my favorite band, and Joey was without a doubt my favorite drummer. He was a beast on the drums, a playing style no one can replicate. The Maggots will forever love and miss Joey and Paul. RIP, Stay Sic y'all.
