Marilyn Manson ends show abruptly due to health issues

Marilyn Manson

The past year has been a pretty trying year for the influential shock-rock star Marilyn Manson.  At the beginning of his tour to support his most recent album, Heaven Upside Down, the singer was badly injured onstage at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom after a set design collapsed on top of him in mid-performance breaking his leg in two places. Well, his health issues have seemed to continue as the rock star had to cut his set short in Houston over the weekend after collpasing onstage.

Marilyn Manson ends show abruptly after collapsing onstage 

According to the HoustonPress, Marilyn Manson’s camp had alerted photographers that they would not be allowed to take photos at this stop on his tour with fellow shock rocker Rob Zombie because Manson had been feeling ill leading up to the concert. Given that he was feeling under the weather, the 49-year-old Manson still tried to perceveer and give the Houston crowd his all. Manson came out of the gate trying to overcompansate for his illness but ended up losing steam after four songs. During his classic rendition of the Eurythmics song “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)”, Manson collapsed to one of his knees and leaned onto one of onstage speakers for support.  

As Billboard reported,  Rob Zombie addressed the situation to the crowd saying at one point “my dear friend Mr. Manson is feeling under the weather. He’s probably on the bus feeling like crap. I need a partner for the next song so let’s sing it really loud and make him feel better.” 

Manson was later able to reassure those who were worried about his well-being on Twitter. “Thanks Houston for being understanding,” he wrote. Adding “I ended up in doctor’s care, but I gave it my best and you guys were amazing.”

No official statement on Marilyn Manson’s health has been released but the rest of his dates with Rob Zombie are scheduled to go on as planned including tonight’s show at the Pepsi Center in Denver, CO.
