The 49-year-old shock rocker Marilyn Manson, according to his fans, had a nervous breakdown during a performance in New York. He murmured unintelligible lyrics into the microphone, played half songs and demanded applause and shrieking. After a short set he disappeared completely from the stage, not to return.
After three songs, the concert derailed completely according to those present. On Instagram fans talk about the ‘bizarre behavior’ of Manson, who resumed his tour for the album Heaven Upside Down in November.
The musician has had a tough year: after a piece of art fell on him last year during a concert he broke his brook in two places. He fired his bass player Twiggy Ramirez after being accused of sexual misconduct. A former guitarist of the group died from colon cancer.
Manson and his band played few full songs, the musicians put numbers in, but Manson himself mumbled and complained to the audience instead of singing. He left after an hour and a quarter of an hour. Many fans were angry, but some were particularly sad because it did not seem to go well with Manson. ‘It was difficult to see that an artist can be so bad at it’, according to a visitor on Instagram.
