Stone Sour have announced that Jim Root will not be touring with the band on their upcoming winter tour. He has chosen to spend the time writing with Slipknot for the band’s next album.
With an impending Slipknot album on the horizon, Jim will not be touring with Stone Sour this winter. Everyone involved is okay with the decision and our mutual friend Christian Martucci will be filling in on guitar. It was a difficult decision, but as the fans have wanted another Stone Sour tour and Jim had responsibilities to the writing process with Slipknot, we feel this is the best decision where everyone wins.
