In a recent episode of the Make It Perfect podcast, former SLIPKNOT and current SUICIDAL TENDENCIES drummer Jay Weinberg opened up about the outpatient surgery he underwent in November 2023. The procedure was done to repair a torn labrum in his left hip and to reshape a deformed section of his femur. Notably, the operation took place just two weeks after SLIPKNOT announced Weinberg’s departure from the iconic Iowa-based metal band.
“Back in the summer of 2018, I started experiencing severe pain during runs,” Weinberg recalled. “Turns out, I had an irregular bone structure—extra bone on one side of my femur that was damaging my hip without me realizing it. Eventually, it tore my labrum. Oddly enough, it didn’t affect my drumming—just running. I’d also done kickboxing when I was younger, which probably didn’t help. But yeah, I finally had it corrected in November 2023.”
