AceShowbiz - A severe rain storm forced Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie to cancel a show in Jones Beach, New York on Tuesday, August 07.
The shock rockers were due to take their "Twins Of Evil - The Second Coming Tour" to the Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater, an open air amphitheatre which juts into Zachs Bay from Jones Beach National Park.
However, storms hit New York shortly before the gig was meant to start, prompting organisers to send fans who had already arrived home and warn others to stay away.
"Due to severe weather, tonight's Rob Zombie & Marilyn Manson show is canceled. Your safety is our first priority," venue officials wrote on Twitter.

Several unlucky fans who had arrived before the storm posted videos of torrential rain on Instagram - with the clips showing bedraggled concertgoers huddling next to the stage to shelter from the storm.
Last month, Marilyn pulled out of the tour's stop in Toronto, Canada after suffering from a mystery illness. He was also forced to cancel a string of his own solo dates in 2017 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.
