Here we go. Another really weird story arc from Marilyn Manson where nothing makes sense. Manson cancelled his show on July 26 because he had the "flu," but never bothered to tell fans until the show was supposed to go on. Then the next night on stage, Rob Zombie joked about it, and that same night Manson posted Instagram videos of him getting "arrested." Though shout to the cops for having a sense of humor on this one.
Now the Bangor, Maine police department has issued an "official apology" for "arresting" Manson. The "flu" incident and the "arrested" incident are two separate things, neither of which make any sense.
“In the interest of saving us a whole lot of call-backs, Marilyn Manson was merely handcuffed and released immediately thereafter.
Officer Curtis Grenier, typically listening to only Enya, and a little bit of Oasis, was posted backstage during the Impact Music Festival. He did not recognize Mr. Manson without his stage makeup- our apologies.
Later, when approaching Rob Zombie, Officer Grenier was overheard saying, “I have never seen him in the Walking Dead, so I don’t know what the big deal is.”
Grenier has been spoken to and relieved of back-stage concert related duties for the foreseeable future. The Chief has determined that Grenier can work backstage during Lord of the Dance or anything related to Disney.
Keep your hands to yourself, leave other people’s things alone, and be kind to one another.
We will be here.
With the Beautiful People.
