Marilyn Manson's Brighton concert cancelled following campaign
The first leg of his One Assassination Under God Tour had been set to kick off at Brighton Centre on October 29.
On Saturday, fans who go online to contact Ticketmaster receive a message saying: 'This event has been cancelled.
'Ticket sales have stopped, but there may be tickets available for other dates.'
In January, prosecutors in the US said they would not file charges against Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, after long-running investigation into allegations of sexual assault and domestic violence.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said the allegations were too old under the law and the evidence is not sufficient to charge the 56-year-old shock rocker.
LA County sheriff's detectives had said early in 2021 that they were investigating Manson over alleged incidents between 2009 and 2011 in West Hollywood, where Manson lived at the time.
Earlier this month in an open letter to the Brighton and Hove city council leader Bella Sankey, Sian Berry, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, called for the October concert to be cancelled.
In the letter, which was co-signed by some victim support groups and the University of Sussex students' union, she wrote: 'Many survivors in Brighton and Hove, and organisations supporting them, will have serious concerns about this booking and its wider impact on other people visiting the city centre, local residents and the wider community.'
The letter, which was posted online, prompted a flood of responses from the public pointing out that Manson had not been found guilty of allegations against him and that a four-year investigation did not lead to charges.
Others branded the call to cancel the gig as censorship.

At the time of writing, there are many tickets available via resale feature, ranging in price from €130 to over €200. What time should I arrive? Doors open at 5pm with the support act, fellow American singer-songwriter Banks, expected to start around 6pm. Getting to the Aviva and back Organisers have said fans should allow for extra travel time to and from the venue. Advertisement As traffic and parking delays are inevitable, attendees are encouraged to walk, cycle, use public transport, and private coach services. By Luas: The stadium is a fair walk from the nearest Luas stop. It's about a 30- to 40-minute walk from Ranelagh, Charlemont, Harcourt, St Stephen's Green, Dawson, and Trinity stops on the Green Line. By train: Lansdowne Road Dart station is less than a minute's walk from the southern end of the stadium. There will be large crowds entering and exiting the stadium at the same time, so plan accordingly. Extra dart services will be running. Irish Rail will operate late night services for those attending Lana Del Rey at the Aviva Stadium. Many services will sell out, so customers are advised to book online in advance. Customers must travel on the specific train for which they have booked tickets. By bus: The Dublin Bus routes that will be operating a full service nearest to the Aviva Stadium are the 4, 7, 7a, 39a, 46a, 145, and 155. By car: There is no bike or car parking at the stadium on concert days for security reasons. There are, however, commercial car parks around the city, such as Claremont Parking or Q-Park, but spaces are limited. Advertisement If you're travelling from outside the county and have a friend in the area with space in their driveway, that could be an option. Suggested locations for taxi drop off are the junction off Pembroke Road/Northumberland Road or the junction of Tritonville Road and Herbert Road depending on which entry point your ticket is for. What will she play? Here's what fans can expect on the set list, based on Lana Del Rey's gig in Glasgow: Stars Fell on Alabama Henry, come on Stand by Your Man Chemtrails Over the Country Club Ultraviolence Ride Video Games Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard?
