The singer went to the hospital after being injured in a mishap on stage, his representative says.
Marilyn Manson has canceled nine tour dates following an accident onstage in New York City Saturday, in which a stage prop fell on the 48-year-old singer in the middle of a performance.
Manson’s concerts from Oct. 2 through Oct. 14 will be rescheduled for a later date, according to a statement from the singer’s representative in Rolling Stone .
“On Saturday night, the legendary performer suffered an injury on stage towards the end of his set at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom causing him to cut the show short,” the statement reads. “He was treated for the injury at a local hospital and will be recuperating at home in Los Angeles.”
Manson was performing a cover of the Eurythmics’ song Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) when he attempted to climb a podium, which tipped and fell on him. The singer’s band continued playing for several minutes before the stage lights came on and the venue announced that the show was over “due to injury.”
Following the acccident, Manson’s bandmate Tyler Bates shared on Instagram that the tour was “on pause for a minute.”
“Well, the Marilyn Manson Heaven Upside Down tour is on pause for a minute,” he captioned a photo of an airplane. “Heading home. Manson will be back in action soon. Heaven Upside Down is released October 6th, with an insane video to stoke the fire. See you soon!”
The singer’s onstage mishap occurred during the third date of his Heaven Upside Down tour, with an album of the same name slated for release next week.
