AceShowbiz - Marilyn Manson has pulled out of a concert at the last minute due to a mystery illness.
The shock rocker was due to perform alongside Rob Zombie in Toronto, Canada on Thursday night (July 26) as part of their "Twins of Evil: The Second Coming Tour".
Fans had already gathered at the city's Budweiser Stage venue when staff announced Marilyn had dropped out of the gig, prompting angry boos from the crowd.
"Marilyn Manson will not be performing tonight," an official stated to disgruntled concertgoers, as seen in footage posted on Twitter.
After telling fans that they could decide to stay and watch Rob, or leave and receive a full refund, the announcer stated that the cancellation was due to an "unforeseen illness" - an explanation "The Beautiful People" singer repeated on his Twitter feed.
Due to an unforeseen illness, @marilynmanson will not be performing tonight in Toronto. If you were in attendance specifically to see Marilyn Manson, you can get a refund at point of purchase.@RobZombie will perform an extended set at 9:15pm.

The next "Twins of Evil" gig is scheduled to take place in Montreal on Saturday.
Metal star Marilyn, real name Brian Warner, has had a number of recent troubles on tour - as earlier this year he had a meltdown while performing in Huntington, New York and walked off the stage after just a couple of songs.
Last year, he was also forced to cancel a string of dates after he crushed his leg when a gun-shaped stage prop fell on top of him midway through a concert. The accident left him needing an operation to put several pins and a plate in his ankle.
