A British MP has written an open letter to Brighton and Hove City Council calling for the cancellation of Marilyn Manson's October 29 show in the city.
Siân Berry, the member of Parliament for Brighton Pavilion, made the call in the light of the sexual assault allegations made against Manson, aka Brian Warner, stating, “The level and nature of the accusations against Warner are concerning enough alone, but so too is the message sent out by providing a platform for this individual, at our city’s biggest publicly owned venue, and what this will mean to survivors.”
Manson's scheduled gig at the Brighton Centre on October 29 is due to be the first UK show on the singer's One Assassination Under God tour.
In her letter, Green Party MP Berry writes: “It is clear that this proposed performance has implications that risk breaching all these policies, and we believe you have strong grounds for reconsidering this decision.
