Sid Wilsonis recovering… saying he won’t miss the Slipknot show this Sunday — even though he’s still recovering from a bonfire gone horribly wrong.
The Slipknot DJ appeared on “TMZ Live” on Friday to discuss his recent close and personal encounter with a fire that heavily burned his arms and face in Iowa… telling us he didn’t take as many safety precautions as he should have.

Wilson says he knew he should have kept the gas can away from the fire, parked his vehicle away from the flames and done a number of other fire safety tricks… but he got too impatient and didn’t put enough distance between himself and the fire.
Bad move, says Sid… because the fire went up and burned him — causing the star to be rushed to the emergency room, as he watched the skin on his arms peel off.

We figured Sid would have to miss the band’s next gig… but he told us that’s not the case — he’ll be playing with the group in Oklahoma on Sunday.
As for how he’s fitting into his iconic mask with a face still sporting some massive burns, SW says a bunch of gel to make sure nothing sticks, and he should be good to go.

Sid’s longtime girlfriend Kelly Osbourne … gave him a lot of nonsense for blowing himself up, by the way… saying that’s why people shouldn’t “s*** about bonfires” — but Sid says she took really good care of him afterward.
Watch the clip until the end to hear everything Nurse Kelly has to do… it seems like it’s not for the squeamish.
Either way…it looks like Sid is ready to set the stage on fire on Sunday — this time, figuratively, we hope.
