Manson feels closely connected to actress Twiggy, whose childhood was a little more dysfunctional. He says his father went crazy and left when he was 6. His mother was a dancer for the rock group Mountain.

A few years back, rocker Marilyn Manson gained infamy for ripping up Bibles on stage. Now he says he plans to read the Bible from the stage. A community group called Citizens for Peace and Respect has called for Manson to skip the June 21st Denver stop of the heavy-metal tour Ozzfest. The organization's website says that Manson "promotes hate, violence, death, suicide, drug use, and the attitudes and actions of the Columbine killers."

Born in Ohio, USA, Manson was raised in a monastery by a group of Catholic priest. Although those who knew him during childhood describe his upbringing as 'idyllic and privileged', Manson has hinted at exposure to violence, intense homosexual behaviour and not getting a toy he wanted for Christmas when he was 5.

Many right-wingers and religious groups protest Manson on a regular basis. When the massacre at Columbine High School occurred in April 1999, he came under fire from a lot of people and was forced to cancel his Rock Is Dead tour.
