Manson’s Shows in Russia Canceled, Bomb Threats + Protests
Quote:
This is just not Marilyn Manson‘s week. The rocker’s tour through Russia is not going as expected as one of his performances was just canceled due to a bomb threat and another show was just pulled due to a protest over his “sadomasochistic” stage show.
Manson was set to perform in Moscow Friday night (June 27) as part of Park Live Festival, but he revealed in a tweet that the show was canceled just as his band was about to take the stage due to a bomb threat. The rocker posted a photo taken outside of the concert venue of concertgoers milling around the streets while police vehicles arrived to investigate the validity of the threat. The photo can be seen below, along with a follow-up tweet from Manson:
Marilyn Manson ✔ @marilynmanson
Bomb threats have cancelled our show in Moscow, just as we were about to perform.
I heard he was gonna play some new music. This is a damned shame. Russians just aren't here for my faves these days, haha. At least they let Gaga perform before getting their panties in a bunch about it.
