Last summer, Manson embarked on his first round of headlining shows in five years. The performances will surrounded his special guest slots with Five Finger Death Punch. That tour kicked off on August 2 at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania and wrapped up on September 19 at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Houston, Texas.

Marilyn Manson returned last year with a new album, One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1. The album performed fairly well commercially, hitting No. 2 on both the UK’s Rock & Metal Albums chart and Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums chart. It also peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard 200. It follows 2020’s We Are Chaos, which topped the UK’s Rock & Metal Albums chart and hit at No. 8 on the Billboard 200. We Are Chaos also gave Manson his first No. 1 album in Australia since 1998’s Mechanical Animals. Drummer Gil Sharone, who performed on Manson’s previous two albums – The Pale Emperor (2015) and Heaven Upside Down (2017), left the group in 2019. He was replaced by Black Flag drummer Brandon Pertzborn.

Following the release of the album, Manson was subsequently dropped from his label, Loma Vista Recordings, following sexual abuse allegations from his former fiancé, actress Evan Rachel Wood (True BloodWestworldFrozen II). Wood, who was in a relationship with Manson from 2007 to 2010, alleged that Manson had “horrifically abused” her throughout the course of their relationship. The couple got engaged in January of 2010, but split a few months later. After Wood made allegations, several other women also came forward and revealed alleged similar experiences.

According to Rolling Stone, Manson filed lawsuits against Wood and another accuser, artist Ashley “Illma” Gore, for defamation and emotional distress, among other complaints. The lawsuits were dismissed, and Manson has been ordered to pay upwards of $500,000 in compensation to Wood and Gore.
