Today, August 3rd, marks the 63rd birthday of Collective Soul frontman, principal songwriter, and guitarist Ed Roland!

Born in Georgia in 1963, Roland studied songwriting at the Berklee College of Music before forming Collective Soul in Stockbridge. The group exploded onto the '90s rock scene with their massive 1993 debut hit "Shine" and went on to define the post-grunge era with a string of chart-topping anthems including "December," "The World I Know," "Gel," and "Heavy."

Over thirty years later, Roland continues to lead Collective Soul on the road and in the studio while pursuing solo and side projects like Ed Roland and the Sweet Tea Project.

Following unconfirmed reports that longtime Slipknot turntablist Sid Wilson was fired from the group after 28 years, his ex-fiancée Kelly Osbourne has shared her first social media post since the news broke.

The post arrives four months after Osbourne and Wilson ended their engagement in March 2026. While neither Slipknot nor Wilson has issued an official statement regarding his status in the band, members of the band's inner circle—including guitarist Jim Root and Stacy Thomson—have urged fans to avoid jumping to conclusions regarding internet rumors.

“No one will smear your name more viciously than the person terrified you’ll expose the truth about them,” the post said.
