Co-founding Marilyn Manson guitarist Scott Putesky, better known as Daisy Berkowitz, has passed away at 49 years old after a four year battle with stage-four colon cancer. Putesky was with Marilyn Manson from 1989 to 1996 and performed on Portrait Of An American Family and Smells Like Children, before leaving the band during the writing sessions for Antichrist Superstar.
Manson posted a tribute on Instagram, writing:
“Scott Putesky and I made great music together. We had our differences over the years, but I will always remember the good times more. Everyone should listen to ‘Man That You Fear’ in his honor. That was our favorite.”
Putesky also played in Jack Off Jill and Godhead, and had his own band called Three Ton Gate. Putesky's death has been confirmed by Jack Off Jill, and we wish both his family and his friends all the best at this time.
