Marilyn Manson Collapses Onstage - Ends Show

Marilyn Manson cut short his performance in The Woodlands, TX on August 18th some five songs into the set. Manson was seen struggling throughout the performance, collapsing onstage during his take on the Eurythmics‘ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)“. Manson addressed his health earlier in the set, blaming it on ‘heat poisoning’ during the intro to “This Is The New Shit“.

The tour had a day-off yesterday (Aug. 19), but will resume today in Denver, Colorado. It is currently unknown whether or not Manson will perform. Before this, Manson canceled his set in Toronto, Ontario just moments before he was to go on stage. A later date in New York was canceled due to flooding in the venue.
