\n\tMarilyn Manson<\/a>\u2019s Brighton, England show, which was scheduled for October, has been canceled amid calls against him performing at Brighton Centre via an online protest and a Member of Parliament.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first leg of his One Assassination Under God Tour in Europe was set to kick off in the U.K. at Brighton Centre on Oct. 29. Ticketmaster informed ticket purchasers that the concert would no longer take place and that they will receive refunds, The Guardian <\/a>reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs reported in a 2021\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0expos\u00e9<\/a>, more than a dozen women came forward with allegations of abuse against Manson, real name Brian Warner, including Evan Rachel Wood, actress Esm\u00e9 Bianco, model Ashley Morgan, and Warner\u2019s former personal assistant, Ashley Walters. Warner has repeatedly denied the accusations against him. After a four-year investigation, Los Angeles prosecutors dropped the case against him<\/a> in January, citing that they determined the domestic abuse allegations against him fell outside of the statute of limitations, and that the sexual assault<\/a> charges could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.<\/p>\n

\n\tNo Stage for Abusers<\/a>, an online \u201ccampaign against abusive men being given a platform to perform\u201d per a description on Facebook, called for Brighton Centre and Brighton and Hove city council, which owns the venue, to cancel his appearance there.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this month, Green Party MP Si\u00e2n Berry wrote an open letter<\/a> to Bella Sankey, the leader of Brighton and Hove city council, which pressed for the cancellation of Manson\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMany 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,\u201d Berry wrote. The letter was co-signed by members of Green Group of Councillors in Brighton and Hove, Survivors Network, University of Sussex Students\u2019 Union, and others. Berry added: \u201cThe council has a responsibility to take action where there are risks of discrimination, harassment and victimisation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing Berry\u2019s letter, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council leader Millie Earl also urged venue operator BH Live to cancel the Oct. 31 show at Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth, England, which is owned by the council, though the council does not control who BH Live books.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t feel Marilyn Manson reflects the values we have in BCP and we\u2019ve been doing a lot of work around things like the White Ribbon accreditation scheme which helps men and boys change negative, damaging behaviours,\u201d she wrote in response to a resident\u2019s question about Manson\u2019s show, per the BBC<\/a>. \u201cSo I have asked that BH Live reconsider hosting Marilyn Manson later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marilyn Manson\u2019s Brighton, England show, which was scheduled for October, has been canceled amid calls against him performing…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":23969,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[11368,171,19433,975,10409,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-23968","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-controversy","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-marilyn-manson","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-sexual-assault","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114765575505077934","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23968\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
