The shock rocker was hospitalised after a stage prop fell on him

Ironically, the shock rocker was midway through a cover of Eurythmics’ ‘Sweet Dreams’ (Are Made Of This)’ when he began to climb two huge pistol props at the back of the stage. The pistols then collapsed on top of him.
Crew and members rushed to lift the props off the injured singer. It is understood that he lay on the stage for several minutes until the house lights came on and the crowd was told that the gig was over “due to injury”.
A statement from the singer’s rep said: “Manson suffered an injury towards the end of an incredible NYC show. He is being treated at a local hospital.”
