Marilyn Manson Collapses Onstage in Saskatoon

Shock rocker Marilyn Manson gave his fans a scare last night (February 6) in Saskatoon after collapsing onstage during his band's performance at TCU Place.

An hour into the show, Manson and crew let into their encore and performed "The Beautiful People," but partway into the song, the musician keeled over onstage. As you can see in the video down below, the band didn't realize what was going on at first, and kept playing the song. Eventually, a few roadies approached the artist and helped him offstage.

An official statement has yet to be made by Manson, but tweets from concertgoers claim the rocker had vomited after his collapse.

"Wow good way for a concert to end. Manson falls down, pukes, then gets dragged off stage," wrote one fan [via Antiquiet], while another suggested, "Honestly, I think MM just partied too hard in Stoon. Drop me your e-mail I'll give you my amateur account of the events."

According to Marilyn Manson's website, the band are still set to play tomorrow night (February 8) at Calgary's Stampede Corral. You can check the rest of the dates here.

UPDATE: Sources close to Manson told TMZ that the singer was suffering flu-like symptoms the day of the show, but chose to try and play the show instead of cancelling. He reportedly went back to his hotel room to rest, and is determined to play tomorrow night.
