さらに、マリリン・マンソンはその前日のピッツバーグでのライヴでステージから落下し、足首を骨折していた*2。
The musician, 48, was hurt when two large prop guns held together with metal scaffolding toppled over during his show at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Saturday.Images from the scene suggest he attempted to climb up the guns before they crashed down on him. Reports from Twitter users say he laid on stage for up to 15 minutes before he was taken to hospital in a stretcher.
Video footage taken by Twitter users appearing to show the incident has appeared online.
The US news publication TMZ reported that the accident occurred while Manson was performing the Eurythmics’ Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) about an hour into his show.
He was taken to hospital but it was not yet known how serious his injuries were.
