According to a report from Des Moines Register, Slipknot guitarist Mick Thomson (41) was stabbed in the back of the head by his brother, Andrew Thomson (35), during a knife fight early Wednesday morning (March 11th).

The brothers were transported to hospital with serious injuries. Clive police reported that the pair were fighting and armed with knives in the front yard of a home in the 1900 block of Northwest 129th Street about 4:25 AM.
