Joey Jordison's
SINSAENUM bandmate
Frédéric Leclercq has blasted
TMZ for sharing the audio of the 911 call placed by the former
SLIPKNOT drummer's ex-girlfriend after she found him dead.
Earlier today, the tabloid site posted the two-and-a-half-minute phone call in which
Joey's ex-girlfriend can be heard getting very emotional when she went to his house to check on him after she hadn't heard from him in days.
Leclercq, a former member of
DRAGONFORCE who now plays bass in
KREATOR, took to his
Twitter earlier today to write: "I have not, and refuse to listen to this 'Emotional 911 Call'. I encourage people to do the same and ignore it. Shame on you @TMZ . Why do you need to do this? is this gonna bring
Joey back ? no. Is this gonna make anyone feel better? no. Shame on you."
Leclercq and
Jordison's death metal collaboration,
SINSAENUM released two studio albums, 2016's
"Echoes Of The Tortured" and 2018's
"Repulsion For Humanity".
Jordison made his live debut with
SINSAENUM in September 2018 in Saint-Brieuc, France.
The founding
SLIPKNOT drummer's family confirmed that
Jordinson passed away "peacefully in his sleep" on Monday of an unspecified cause.
According to
TMZ,
Joey's family said they will hold a private funeral service for him, but it's unclear when that will happen.
SLIPKNOT announced its split with
Jordison in December 2013 but did not disclose the reasons for his exit. The drummer subsequently issued a statement saying that he did not quit the group.
Several years ago,
Jordison overcame the neurological condition acute transverse myelitis, an inflammation of the spinal cord which damages nerve fibers, which ultimately led to the drummer temporarily losing the use of his legs.
Back in 2014,
SLIPKNOT singer
Corey Taylor told
Metal Hammer that firing
Jordison after 18 years was "one of the hardest decisions" the group ever made, adding that
Joey is "in a place in his life" which is "not where we are."
