Marilyn 'Diva' Manson: Police Called

Unhappy God-of-Fuck-Fans find donut munchers in the pit spraying them with chemicals, after Mazza huffs off...

Kansas International Raceway was just another gig on the 'Freakers Ball' tour, until a barrier was pushed down, not once, but twice, and the pop-icon Marilyn Manson stormed offstage. Police were then called and 12,000 fans were left disapointed.

According to reports, some fans then 'rushed the stage' and bottles were thrown at security. Chaos then took over and around 100 police used irritant sprays in an attempt to control the crowd. Only a few minor injuries were reported by ambulances who rushed to the scene.

Expect an announcement about a court case to follow any day now - won't these mtv-rock-gods/promoters ever learn?

DiScuss: What's the most chaos you've ever witnessed at a gig? Don't you hate laying out loads of money only for the gig to be a waste of time or cut short or some idiot(s) ruining it for you? Are there any associations for gig-goers like football fan associations to ensure we get value for money?
