Kelly Osbourne accidentally blows huge music secret with Instagram photo

Kelly Osbourne appears to have accidentally blown a huge secret about a popular band in her latest Instagram pic.

Kelly Osbourne may have inadvertently revealed the identity of Slipknot’s mystery keyboard player.

Heavy metal band Slipknot is known for keeping the identities of some of their members secret and hidden under masks on stage.

Fans have been left wondering who now plays keyboards for the group after Craig Jones left the band last year.

But thanks to an apparent slip-up on Osbourne’s social media, the keyboardist may have been unmasked.

The TV personality, 39, who shares a child with Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson, posted a photo on Instagram of the band’s frontman Corey Taylor and her son Sidney.

However, what caught the attention of fans was the figure in the background dressed in Slipknot’s trademark red overalls.

This mysterious individual didn’t match any of the previously known faces in Slipknot’s line-up.

Some fans had previously speculated that the new keyboard player might be Zac Baird, a former member of Ghost and Korn.

Meanwhile, others were convinced that the anonymous musician was Jeff Karnowski, after spotting a photo of someone on the official Slipknot website in April who was simply titled ‘Jeff’.

Osbourne’s photo, which appears to have been deleted, has only added weight to the theory that Karnowski is the man behind the mask.

The Slipknot member has managed to maintain anonymity since joining the band last year.

Whether he is now in Slipknot or not, Karnowski is a musician who has ties to the band’s percussionist Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan.

He previously played alongside Shawn in his alt-rock side project Dirty Little Rabbits.

Michael Pfaff also joined Slipknot from Dirty Little Rabbits as a percussionist in 2021, quickly becoming known as Tortilla Man due to his distinctive mask.

Slipknot are currently celebrating the 25th anniversary of their self-titled album with a tour across North America performing it in full at each show.

The band will then take their tour to Europe in December, playing dates in Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and London.
