Despite the various sexual assault allegations him, Marilyn Manson will be returning to the live stage this summer as direct support for Five Finger Death Punch. As such, Five Finger Death Punch’s Zoltan Bathory has now addressed the band’s decision to tour with the shock rocker.
Bathory said the following about Manson during a recent appearance on “The Jesea Lee Show“:
“Manson hasn’t been out on the road for a while, so a lot of people wanna see him. At one point he was one of the most iconic artists on planet earth. So he’s back on stage, back in the saddle. That’s gonna be amazing.
He’s also sober and clean, so we always support that, obviously. Ivan [Moody] had a dark period, and he was gone, man. My little brother was on the brink of dying, man, and he came back from that. And he’s clean and sober for six years. If he can do it, somebody who was that gone can do it, and he’s now a different man, then it’s a good example for anyone else.
If you’re struggling, man, don’t give up. You can come back from that. And Manson is sober and he’s staying clean and doing the work, so also we’re supporting that. So it’s gonna be an amazing tour.”
