Close to 50 years old, Corey Taylor does not know if he will continue touring with Slipknot
Corey Taylorvocalist of Slipknot, considers retirement from the stage in five years. In case he fails to maintain the level of performances, the musician admitted that he thinks about stepping aside to take care of his own health.
In an interview with rock antenna (via NME), taylorwho is approaching his 50th birthday, said: “As long as I manage to do [as turnês]and as long as there are people there to watch, I will continue.”
“Now, if the quality starts to drop, I know it’s time to stop. I’ve thought about it, maybe I still have five years of touring like this left. I try to take care of myself, exercise when I can. Traveling in Europe is exhausting. The food is awful, so it’s tough.” continued.
corey he even said he should help the Slipknot to find a replacement to carry on with the work: “This band has always been greater than the sum of all its parts. It was hard to go on without Paul Gray. It was difficult to carry on after leaving Joey Jordison. It’s always hard when the original nine stop being the nine in the band. But at the same time, those who are here love the group. We always learn something from that.”
