The Show of Marilyn Manson In Brighton, England, who was scheduled on October 29, was canceled amid criticism, made through an online protest and a parliamentarian.

The first part of the European tour “One Assassination Under God” It was scheduled to start in the UK at the Brighton Center. Ticketmaster informed ticket buyers that the show would no longer be made and that they would receive a refund, according to The Guardian.

As reported in a 2021 complaint made by Rolling Stone, more than a dozen women presented allegations of abuse against Manson, whose real name is Brian Warnerincluding Evan Rachel Woodthe actress Esmé Biancothe model Ashley Morgan and Warner’s former personal assistant, Ashley Walters. Warner repeatedly denied the accusations against him.

After a four -year investigation, Los Angeles prosecutors filed the case against him in January. It was said that the allegations of domestic abuse against him were prescribed for a time and that the accusations of sexual aggression could not be proved beyond any reasonable doubt.

“At Stage for Abusers” (“No stage for abusers”), an “online campaign against abusive men who receive a platform to present,” as a description on Facebook, asked Brighton Center and Brighton and Hove City Hall, owner of the place, to cancel their presentation on site. Earlier this month, Siân BerryParliamentary of the Green Party, wrote open letter to Bella SankeyLeader of Brighton and Hove City Hall, who pressed for the cancellation of Manson’s show.

In a letter signed by members of the Green Group of Brighton and Hove City Councilors, the Survivor Network, the University of Sussex Student Union and others, Berry said:

“Many survivors of abuse in Brighton and Hove, and the organizations that support them, will have serious concerns about this event and their broader impact on others who visit the city center, local residents and the general community. The council has the responsibility to take steps where there are risk of discrimination, harassment and victimization.”

Another possible cancellation

After Berry’s letter, Bournemouth’s board leader Christchury and Poole (BCP), Millie Earlalso urged the local operator, BH Live, to cancel the October 31 show at Bournemouth International Center in Bournemouth, England, which is owned by the Council, although this does not control who will be hired by BH Live.

In response to a resident’s question about Manson’s show, she wrote (via BBC):

“I don’t think Marilyn Manson reflects the values ​​we have in BCP and we have worked hard around things like the White Ribbon program, which helps men and boys change negative and harmful behaviors. So I asked BH Live to reconsidere to receive Marilyn Manson later this year.”
