Written by News on 01/10/2017
Rock star Marilyn Manson has been injured after a piece of stage scenery fell on him during a performance.
The accident is understood to have occurred during a set at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York on Saturday night.
Video footage taken by Twitter users appears to show a scaffolding rig that was supporting two giant pistols falling towards the front of the stage onto the singer.
Some images suggest that he was climbing up the scaffolding immediately before it came down.
Musicians on stage at the same time rushed towards him as soon as they saw what happened and pulled the metal construction off.
TMZ reported that he was about an hour into his set at the Manhattan centre and was performing Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) at the time.
It took several minutes before anyone was able to pull him from the wreckage, Twitter users said.
He was then taken to hospital.
His condition is not currently known.
Manson was three dates into his The Heaven Upside Down Tour and was due to go on to tour the US and Europe, with his dates in the UK coming at the end in December.
