Marilyn Manson struck by falling stage scenery during New York concert


The rock star Marilyn Manson has been hospitalised after a stage prop fell on him while he performed in New York.

The musician, 48, was hurt when two large prop guns held together with metal scaffolding toppled over during his show at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Saturday.

Images from the scene suggest he attempted to climb up the guns before they crashed down on him. Reports from Twitter users say he lay on stage for up to 15 minutes before he was taken to hospital in a stretcher.


I saw the footage on the news yesterday, and must admit that I laughed my ass off. The lesson here? Don't climb on stage scenery when you're high.

People shouldn't play with guns.

Stage props made by the same people who made Spinal Tap's.

Were they really? That's cool. I've never seen Spinal Tap live but I heard their stage show was explosive.

This whole thread made me lol ta

Climbing stage props in any state is probably a bad idea for anyone. We lost as big one at high school Rock Eisteddfod and sent 4 people to hospital.

Recover well Mr Manson
