Corey Taylor has already got a pretty busy 2021 planned – having recently told Kerrang! about his hopes to tour, do a movie and write his fifth book – but the Slipknot frontman has revealed he could well add another thing to his stacked plate: a musical.
It’s well documented that Corey is a huge fan of the theatre (he even has a 24601 tattoo on his back, the prison code of Les Misérables’ lead character Jean Valjean), and now he might bring his own idea to life, revealing on the Talkulture Twitch channel that he’s been “toying with the idea” of writing a musical.
