**The first UK concert of rock star Marilyn Manson’s tour has been cancelled after pressure from campaigners and an MP.**
The first leg of his One Assassination Under God Tour had been set to kick off at Brighton Centre on 29 October.
On Saturday, fans who went online to contact Ticketmaster received a message saying “this event has been cancelled”.
In January, prosecutors in the US said they [would not file charges](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cge7q0z5nz0o) against Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, after a long-running investigation into allegations of sexual assault and domestic violence. The singer has repeatedly denied the accusations.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said the allegations were too old under the law and the evidence not sufficient to charge the 56-year-old.
LA County sheriff’s detectives had said early in 2021 that they were investigating Manson over alleged incidents between 2009 and 2011 in West Hollywood.
Earlier this month in an open letter to the Brighton and Hove City Council, Sian Berry, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, called for the October concert to be cancelled.
In the letter, which was co-signed by some victim support groups and the University of Sussex students’ union, she 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.”
The letter, which was posted online, prompted a flood of responses from the public pointing out that Manson had not been found guilty of allegations against him and that a four-year investigation did not lead to charges.
Others branded the call to cancel the gig as censorship.
The message on Saturday from Ticketmaster read: “Ticket sales have stopped but there may be tickets available for other dates.”
Five other UK gigs in October and November are still listed on ticketing websites.
Guilty until proven innocent it seems
As an envious virgin, I support the harassment of privileged sex-havers! Go, pitch forks, go!
You don’t like Manson, that’s cool. I was never the biggest fan of him either. I always found him to be a smug prick who loved himself more then any fan could ever love him. Just don’t watch him or give him the time of day. But actually have his shows cancelled so no one can see him is not cool, and partly the reason why we are having such issues.
This is the shit ppl are willing to protest against. Pathetic
Is there any evidence of wrong doing. I don’t know much about this guy
There’s been cases where a woman is clearly making shit up for money a bunch of times. Just look up the duke lacrosse scandal
Musician, teacher and former fan here.
Good. I don’t like cancel culture and think it goes a wee bit too far at times, but, MM is and has done some shifty shit and probably won’t be held accountable for some of his ills that will probably come out after he passes.
Sure, let his music reign, fans can go find him if they need to, it isn’t like he is being muted and this is a good step in the right direction for short term accountability. He has the money and sway to make allegations disappear and sure, innocent until proven guilty of course, but you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see that some of what has been alleged is perfectly believable.
Used to love him back in the day; but it isn’t like he’s being targeted. Those giving him the benefit of the doubt, good for you, you libertarian. But, this is a grown man who sung about underage girls on stage.
I never liked him, so I’m not disappointed, but I am perplexed when people suddenly realize that shady rockstars turn out to be pieces of shit and surprised when that should have been obvious to anyone paying attention from the start.
But we allow our leaders to publicly kiss Trumps ass, no protest against NATO leader calling him daddy and all that. Yeah let’s focus our protesting strength on a forgotten 90s rock star show in a smaller UK city. What an achievement !
