Last night while performing at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, Marilyn Manson was forced to end his set early after a large stage prop fell on top of him during his performance. The singer was quickly aided out from underneath the prop by stage hands, and after a brief delay the show was ended. You can see the entire incident in the above fan-shot video as Manson and his band perform ‘Sweet Dreams’ an hour into their set.
Other videos online appear to show Manson trying to possibly climb on to the prop, before it toppled over on top of him.
“Manson suffered an injury towards the end of his incredible NYC show. He is being treated at a local hospital,” said a rep for Manson in a statement to Rolling Stone.
It is unclear how severe Manson’s injuries are at this time but to those in attendance at the show last night the situation appeared to be serious for the singer who was touring in anticipation of his upcoming album, ‘Heaven Upside Down’. “There was a lot of confusion in the crowd when it happened, people thought it was maybe part of the act,” says Loudwire’s John Hill, who was at the show. “When the guitarist moved over, the crowd started to freak out. Everyone was really worried and then chants started. They had the crowd move out of the venue real quick.”

This is not the first time this week the shock rocker has been endured some bodily harm on stage. Earlier this week while on the first leg of his current tour in Pittsburgh, Manson announced to the crowd that he had broken his ankle after taking a tumble off stage.
