Heavy metal band Slipknot’s turntable is recovering after suffering burns in an accident, the band announced.

In a social media post on Slipknot’s official Instagram page on Friday, the group wrote that their “brother Sid Wilson was in an accident today and suffered burns all over his body.”

“He is recovering with his family and will still be on stage with us at Rocklahoma next weekend,” the statement continued. “He thanks everyone for their well wishes and we’ll see you all soon.”

On Wilson’s own Instagram page, he shared video posts from the hospital. In the first, he said he “had an explosion in his face.” He also said he was “scorched all over,” mentioning that his eyebrows, mouth, face, and arms were affected.

He also said, “I’m going to be fine. I don’t care what it costs, see you on tour,” and his burns “burn a lot.”

In a follow-up video Friday from an ambulance en route to another hospital with a burn center, he told his followers that he would probably need to have his head shaved to make sure there were no more burns there, and again said he was “going to be OK” and “in good hands.”

Wilson said in the second clip that the accident “did not come from a broadcast” but was caused by himself “while working on the farm.” He did not provide any further details. Towards the end, he urged his followers to “be very careful when handling fire.”

Wilson’s partner Kelly Osbourne also shared photos from the hospital where she was caring for her son.

“He literally set himself on fire and blew everything up,” Osbourne said in an Instagram story.

She later thanked her followers for their support and said she was on her way to pick Wilson up from the hospital.

In the videos shared by Wilson and Osbourne, his arms and hands wrapped in thick bandages could be seen from various angles.

CNN has reached out to representatives for Wilson and Osbourne for further comment.

Slipknot is scheduled to perform at the Rocklahoma Festival in Pryor, Oklahoma from August 30 to September 1.
