The first UK concert of rock star Marilyn Manson's tour has been cancelled after pressure from campaigners and an MP.

The first leg of his One Assassination Under God Tour had been set to kick off at Brighton Centre on 29 October.

On Saturday, fans who went online to contact Ticketmaster received a message saying "this event has been cancelled".

In January, prosecutors in the US said they would not file charges against Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, after a long-running investigation into allegations of sexual assault and domestic violence. The singer has repeatedly denied the accusations.

Earlier this month in an open letter to the Brighton and Hove City Council, Sian Berry, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, called for the October concert to be cancelled.

“Stupid Rock”

Good one, I can think of a number of bands I would put in that category.

I like Manson’s stuff, personal taste whatever.
Very tired of these idiots inserting their political views into their PR campaigns — honestly, he’s just trying to revive a flagging career after he was accused of some really nasty, pervy stuff a few years ago.

I think I’ll just stick with Rammstein now...

But, it could be both trying to do damage control after rereading it.
