Slipknot's future 'too soon to predict'

Slipknot star Corey Taylor has admitted that it is "too soon" to discuss the future of the band following the death of bassist Paul Gray.

The musician died in May after taking a lethal combination of morphine and the narcotic painkiller fentanyl.

Taylor told Zane Lowe's official site: "It's too soon right now, but we're still talking, all of us are talking and everthing's good but we'll see."

The singer's comments were similar to those of guitarist Jim Roots, who told NME in June: "There's going to be a big healing process that needs to happen before we even think about whether or not Slipknot will continue."

Taylor is currently recording a new album with his band Stone Sour.
