Marilyn Manson collapsed on stage during a concert in Houston on Saturday night, shortly after telling fans he was suffering from “heat poisoning”, according to media reports.

The singer, 49, cut short his gig in Texas during the fourth song of the night, when audience footage showed him holding on the microphone before staggering away and collapsing towards the back of the stage.

According to the Houston Press, he was reportedly suffering from food poisoning and had allegedly banned photographers from snapping him while on stage.

Manson later tweeted: “Thanks Houston for being understanding. I ended up in doctor’s care, but I gave it my best and you guys were amazing.”

Manson is currently performing his Twins of Evil, the Second Coming tour with Rob Zombie. 

Last October, he was forced to cancel several performances after being hit by a falling stage prop during a performance in New York.
