Marilyn Manson crushed by two giant pistols tour Canceled

Marilyn Manson has been crushed by a falling prop at his New York City concert.

The 48-year-old rock star was in the middle of singing Sweet Dreams when the props, described by witnesses as giant pistols, fell.

He had just begun climbing on to them in the middle of his performance when they began to give way and ‘toppled’ on top of him, witnesses said.

Several people rushed on to the stage but it took a number of minutes before Manson was stretchered off stage.

The accident comes just a week after Manson said controversially that the Columbine shooting ‘ruined’ his career. The teenage gunmen responsible for the shooting were reported to be fans of the star.

As expected after Saturday night’s incident, the rest of the concert was canceled.

Concert-goer Michelle Curran told DailyMail.com that the entire Manhattan Center Hammerstein Ballroom, where the show was being held, after the props fell.

‘He was probably half way through singing sweet dreams by the Eurythmics and the massive gun display of two pistols behind him toppled on to him.

‘The singing stopped and loads of people ran on to the stage to lift to it up.’

He had been onstage for an hour and 20 minutes when the accident occurred.
