According to TMZ.com, Marilyn Manson was suffering from the flu when he collapsed and vomited onstage near the end of his set in concert in Saskatchewan, Canada this past Wednesday night (Feb. 6). The singer was apparently “feeling like crap” all day, but still wanted to go on with the show. After hitting the stage, Manson started feeling worse and vomited several times before collapsing in the middle of the song “Beautiful People”. He fell backward onto the stage, at which point members of his road crew came out to carry him off. The 44-year-old rocker — whose real name is Brian Hugh Warner — decided not to go a hospital, choosing instead to rest up in his hotel room.
Newly released close-up video footage of Manson collapsing onstage can be seen below.
Manson and his band are scheduled to perform tonight (Friday, February 8) in Calgary.
The group’s North American tour with the BUTCHER BABIES will wrap on February 23 in Las Vegas.
Marilyn Manson claims to have undergone a medical procedure to reattach his ear following an altercation in Switzerland.
The rocker revealed via Twitter that he was involved in a fight during his current “Twins Of Evil” European tour and needed 24 stitches to treat the resulting ear injury.
Manson posted a picture of his ear (see below) covered in medical tape and wrote in the accompanying message, “I was hit by a glass table in a dangerous fight. I was however, the victor but had to have 24 stitches to keep my ear from becoming Van Goth.”
The “Twins Of Evil” tour, which also features Rob Zombie, made a stop in Basel on Tuesday.

According to MLive.com, MARILYN MANSON and ROB ZOMBIE engaged in a war of words Friday night (October 12) at the the ninth stop of their 36-city “Twins Of Evil” tour at DTE Energy Music Theater in Clarkston, Michigan.
Manson reportedly accused Rob Zombie of cutting Marilyn‘s set short, telling the crowd, “I’m going to kick his ass.”
Zombie also addressed the feud during his 90-minute performance, telling the audience, “Some tours just don’t go [expletive] together” and making it clear that he was tired of Manson‘s “rock star [expletive].” He also fired more verbal shots at Manson while paying homage to Alice Cooper with a cover of Cooper‘s classic “School’s Out” (see video below), dedicating the song to “the only real shock rocker there ever was, not some punk-ass bitch, Alice Cooper.”
“[Bleep] you Marilyn Manson!,” Zombie reportedly yelled several times, along with other choice words including “suck it, Marilyn Manson!” He also called Manson “Brian,” referring to Marilyn‘s birth name, Brian Warner.
Manson implied on Twitter that Zombie had also cut Marilyn‘s set short Thursday night in Rosemont, Illinois, writing, “Sorry to Chicago for not getting to play ‘Beautiful People’. You can sing it in between Zombie songs, his band has already played it.”
Zombie himself took to his Facebook page earlier today to “clear up the rumors flying around.” He wrote, “Neither I nor anyone working for me made Manson cut his show short. It is a co-headliner and we both play the exact same set length every night. It is all very simple, but if one of us chooses to go on late for whatever reason, that time will have to come out of their set. That just the way it works, that is the way it always works. There is no evil plan going on. It is all complete nonsense.”
He added in a separate posting, “As stupid as this all is, I feel I must clear things up a little better. First off, I want to thank all the fans who came out in the freezing cold in Detroit last night. It was a total blast as always.
“Unfortunately, things turned ugly backstage. Why? I don’t know, but for some reason our touring partner decided to end his set by blaming me for something that I had nothing to do with and screaming he was going to ‘kick Rob Zombie‘s ass as soon as he got off stage.’
“Go figure. I was backstage hanging, watching the show thinking, ‘hey, this is gonna be a great night,’ when suddenly he starts screaming threats. So strange. I don’t get it. Christ, I’ve known some of his crew for 20 fucking years and some of his crew used work for me. It’s all good. No one would fuck with someone’s show. It is ridiculous.
“Well, of course I felt the need to respond to the ‘kick my ass remark.’ Who wouldn’t? Although I wish I had kept it backstage and kept the fans out of it. It is all fourth-grade-fight-after-school nonsense of which I have never dealt with on tour before. Co-headlining tours always go smooth because everything is cut 50/50 and I mean everything. No one fucks with anyone’s show. It is even fucking Steven.
“I’ve done co-headlining tours many times before and have had no troubles. Not with PANTERA, SLAYER, ALICE COOPER, KORN, MEGADETH or anyone ever. So I didn’t expect any troubles on this. It seemed like a great idea at the time. But shit happens.
“Anyway, sorry to the fans who had to dealt with the embarrassing stupidity of it all. We are all there for the same reasons to give you the best show ever… that’s it.”
DJ Starscream of SLIPKNOT, will provide support on most of the Twins Of Evil tour dates, co-headlining MARILYN MANSON and ROB ZOMBIE. DJ Starscream fills the slot left open by KORN‘s Jonathan “J Devil” Davis, who had to bow out of the tour on doctors’ orders due to extreme exhaustion.
The Twins Of Evil Tour kicks off today, September 28th when both Zombie and Manson co-headline the first day of the Desert Uprising Festival in Phoenix, Arizona, and will wrap up in Dallas on Halloween. DJ Starscream will join up with the tour on October 1st in Salt Lake City. A complete itinerary is below.
DJ Starscream has been DJing since 1992, and is best known as the turntablist for Slipknot. Over the years, he’s developed several styles of new music from the metal mayhem of Slipknot to turntablist jungle mash-ups. He has developed a following in Japan as a jungle musician, and is currently signed to the Japanese record label N20 Records. DJ Starscream also performs in the alterna-hop troup AMPT that features members of BIOHAZARD and DJ Rob Gee on vocals.

According to the Los Angeles television station KTLA, Marilyn Manson wrote the words “fuck you” over his mouth and chin while walking through security at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday (August 11).
The singer, who was wearing mirrored sunglasses, a black hat and a raincoat and was accompanied by his girlfriend, Lindsay Usich, scribbled the obscenity in black ink in an apparent failed attempt to keep paparazzi from taking photographs.
A witness who stood in the same line at the airport offered the following description of what transpired via the social news web site Reddit: “I just went through the LAX security line with Marilyn Manson. He had ‘FUCK’ scrawled in large letters across the bottom half of his face, with what appeared to be a grease pencil.”
“As we each removed our boots in the security line, he kindly explained that it was not directed at me or anyone else in the airport, but rather at the paparazzi, so that they couldn’t sell any photos of him that they took.”
“He was really apologetic about it, and covered his mouth around young children while apologizing to their parents for exposing their child to profanity.”
