Local Council Leader Seeks To Cancel Marilyn Manson’s Bournemouth Show

According to BBC, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council leader Millie Earl is currently trying to cancel Marilyn Manson‘s Halloween (October 31) show at Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth, UK in response to the past sexual assault allegations against him. Earl believes the concert should be scrapped to “reinforce the message that violence against women and girls isn’t something that’s acceptable in our community.” She also revealed that she spoke with the venue’s operators BH Live:

“Because of our lease arrangement with them, we don’t have any input into the decisions that are made, the acts that are appearing, although I have actually written to BH Live to express my concern. I don’t feel Marilyn Manson reflects the values we have in BCP and we’ve been doing a lot of work around things like the White Ribbon accreditation scheme which helps men and boys change negative, damaging behaviours. So I have asked that BH Live reconsider hosting Marilyn Manson later this year.”
