Controversial singer's UK tour date cancelled after sex abuse allegations
Marilyn Manson's Brighton show has been cancelled following his sex abuse allegations. The Tainted Love hitmaker, 56, was due to perform at the Brighton Centre on October 29 to kick off his One Assassination Under God Tour. But mounting pressure from concerned music fans and protests has led to the show being axed. A slew of sexual abuse allegations were levelled against the singer, real name Brian Hugh Warner, since 2021, including a rape case brought by an ex-girlfriend, known anonymously as Jane Doe. The singer settled the case one week before it was due to begin, and last year signed a new record deal with Nuclear Blast. Manson has denied all the claims, stating his relationships 'have always been entirely consensual', and called the accusations 'horrible distortions of reality'. A message on the Ticketmaster website about the event reads: 'This event has been cancelled. 'Ticket sales have stopped, but there may be tickets available for other dates.' Brighton Pavilion MP Sian Berry wrote an open letter to Brighton and Hove City Council earlier this month calling for the show to be axed. Co-signed by various groups, it read: 'Many survivors in Brighton and Hove, and organisations supporting them, will have serious concerns about this booking and its wider impact on other people visiting the city centre, local residents and the wider community.' Additional Marilyn Manson shows in Bournemouth, Cardiff, Nottingham, Manchester, and London are still planned to go ahead. Per GB News, Liberal Democrat leader Millie Earl told a Bournemouth council meeting that the International Centre shows should be cancelled to 'reinforce the message that violence against women and girls isn't something that's acceptable in our community.' In January, it was announced that US prosecutors would not file charges against the Beautiful People singer following investigations into allegations of domestic violence and sexual assault. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced that the allegations lacked sufficient evidence to bring charges and were deemed too old under the law. Game of Thrones actress Esme Bianco and Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood were among the accusers. With regards to Bianco's lawsuit, Manson settled out of court, while parts of Manson's own defamation lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood were thrown out of court. More Trending Manson then dropped the defamation lawsuit and paid her almost $327,000 (£238,303) in attorney fees. Wood previously shared her allegations of rape and abuse In 2017, when the #MeToo movement gained momentum, before giving testimony to a Congressional committee in 2018, both without naming anyone. In a lengthy Instagram post in 2021, she finally named Manson and claimed that he groomed her as a teenager and said that he 'horrifically abused her for years'.

Marilyn Manson Brighton concert cancelled after pressure from campaigners
Heavy metal star Marilyn Manson, has had the first UK concert of his One Assassination Under God Tour cancelled after pressure from campaign groups and an MP. The first leg of the tour was due to kick off at the Brighton Centre on Wednesday, 29 October. Ticketmaster have since informed customers that the event will no longer go ahead as planned and they will be refunded. An online campaign group, No Stage for Abusers, called on the Brighton Centre and Brighton and Hove city council, which owns the venue, to cancel the performance. Four women had sued Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, accusing him of rape, sexual assault and bodily harm. However, after a year-long investigation, the case against him was dropped in January. Prosecutors in California found that the statute of limitations had been exceeded and argued they would not be able to bring charges that prove Warner was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The identities of the women were not revealed, but Game of Thrones actor Esmé Bianco, who sued Warner in a case that has now been settled, stated that she was part of the criminal investigation. In 2021, Manson's former fiancee, the Westworld actor Evan Rachel Wood, also named him as her abuser for the first time in an Instagram post. Warner has dismissed the allegations as 'falsehoods'. Last week, Green Party MP Siân Berry expressed her concerns about Warner's scheduled performance in her constituency in Brighton, writing an open letter to the leader of Brighton and Hove city council, Bella Sankey. In Berry's letter, which was co-signed by a host of groups and the University of Sussex students' union, she made the case for cancelling the concert, saying it went against 'the city's well-renowned values'. Berry wrote: 'Many survivors in Brighton and Hove, and organisations supporting them, will have serious concerns about this booking and its wider impact on other people visiting the city centre, local residents and the wider community.' She added: 'The council has a responsibility to take action where there are risks of discrimination, harassment and victimisation.' Supporters of Warner point out that Warner has not been found guilty of allegations against him. Others said the decision infringes on freedom of speech. One person told The Argus: 'This is cancel culture, nothing more, and it'll backfire when artists don't add a Brighton and Hove date to their tours and stick to London, which incidentally hasn't banned Marilyn Manson from their city.'
