Marilyn Manson recovering after onstage accident, cancels concerts

  • 02/10/2017

Marilyn Manson has cancelled nine upcoming shows as it's announced he'll be leaving hospital to recover at home after an onstage accident.

The 'Antichrist Superstar' singer was performing in New York over the weekend when scaffolding holding two large pistol props fell on top of him.

Manson, real name Brian Warner, was stretchered out of the venue and taken to hospital before an official statement was prepared.

"Marilyn Manson is being forced to cancel several of his October dates on his forthcoming US tour," his representative says in a statement.

"On Saturday night, the legendary performer suffered an injury on stage towards the end of his set at NYC's Hammerstein Ballroom causing him to cut the show short. He was treated for the injury at a local hospital and will be recuperating at home in Los Angeles."

Some of the cancelled shows are to be rescheduled for later dates.

The severity of his injuries was not disclosed.
