Sid Wilson has given an update on his health following a freak accident.
Wilson, who is one ninth of the band Slipknot, has been dating Kelly Osbourne since 2022 and shares a young son with the reality TV star.
In recent days their relationship was put to the test after Wilson suffered serious burns following an incident involving a bonfire that's lead to Osbourne, 39, having to care for the DJ, 47.
Wilson has been documenting his recovery on social media and has since given some more insight into what happened in the moments leading up to the accident.
"A few nights ago, I lit it and let it burn down," he recently recalled on a phone call with Fox News Digital.

"So, the next day, I went to check it to see, you know, how much was left, if anything. And there was a certain amount of debris around the side still left, so I, like a dummy, [did] what I'm not supposed to do, but I added some gas to it."
Wilson continued: "I started looking around for a long branch to kind of be at a distance to light it, and then I couldn't find one immediately. So, my lack of patience got the better of me, and I was like, screw it. I'll be all right, you know?
"And I squatted down and reached out and lit it, and it just, it was really humid out so there was still a lot of vapors lingering around in there, and it just... woof. Exploded."

Wilson has since been left with serious burns, mainly to his arms and face.
"My whole right arm is bandaged up, half of my left arm," he shared. "My face is basically melted from nose down. But the swelling's gone down, and they said the face is kind of amazing that it's regenerative, it happens real fast, seems to heal quickly."
He added that he's had 'better days' but is thankful to still be alive.

Elsewhere the Slipknot star gushed about Osbourne and described her as 'completely invaluable'.
The 47-year-old went on: "Being here and taking care of all that for me, I'm not really sure what I’d be doing if she wasn’t here doing that."
In light of the ordeal, Wilson has told people: "Don't f**k around with fire."
Meanwhile, in a recent update shared to Instagram yesterday (August 29) Wilson said that he's 'halfway there', implying that he's well on his way to making a full recovery.
