Taylor’s neck
Taylor was known for his singing and thick neck. YouTube video: singer talks about his neck. He answered the audience’s questions in the video.
Taylor baited fans with an audio e-book and said Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman, and Betty White would read it.
When asked if he had an 18-inch neck, he said “absolutely.” He explained that his broad neck required him to buy oversized shirts.
The audience laughed when he quipped that he couldn’t put his hands around his neck.
Taylor’s neck surgery
Slipknot’s co-headlining tour with Marilyn Manson was delayed in July 2016 after the singer fractured his neck.
Taylor addressed the speculation on Twitter. He needed surgery for a fractured neck he didn’t realize he had until a medical checkup.
Two neck discs and vertebrae were replaced. Taylor tweeted that he quit smoking because he wanted to, not because of the surgery.
Both Tweets showed Taylor smiling in a neck brace.
The band’s Facebook page said Taylor was healing well and rescheduled the trip for August. The singer thanked fans for their support.
