Manson‘s next performance is expected to take place on October 15 at Grand Prairie, Texas’s Freaker’s Ball.

The accident happened about forty-five minutes into Manson‘s set at Hammerstein Ballroom as tried to climb the prop — consisting of two enormous fake pistols — which was almost double his height. The huge prop toppled and knocked Manson to the stage.
