context_page_description: The Heaven Upside Down Tour is the fifteenth concert tour by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was launched in support of their tenth studio album, Heaven Upside Down, which was released on October 6, 2017. Beginning on July 20, 2017, the tour currently includes seven legs spanning Europe and North America, for a total of 124 shows.
  The live band for the tour initially included Marilyn Manson on vocals, Twiggy on bass guitar, Tyler Bates on lead guitar, Paul Wiley on rhythm guitar, Gil Sharone on drums and Daniel Fox on percussion and keyboards. Several of these musicians have left the band over the course of the tour, however. Fox played his final show with the band on the July 31 date in Moscow, although he remains a member of crew as Sharone's drum technician. Twiggy was dismissed from the band on October 25. Bates also indicated he would not be performing on the second European leg, saying: "I want to play as many shows as I can, but I've got some pretty intense commitments with film coming up and that takes precedence.
context_section_description: The entire band narrowly avoided injury in Moscow when their tour bus was involved in a collision with a semi-trailer truck. Bates recalled: "We had a real asshole driver who worked for the promoter, and he nearly got us killed on the way from the airport. At some point, we just bailed out of the vehicle, because [the driver] was being really weird and contentious, and tried to lock us inside." Additionally, the North American leg of the tour has seen the band's eponymous vocalist be injured several times whilst performing on-stage. During the encore performance of "The Beautiful People"  on September 29 at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, Manson broke his ankle after jumping from the stage to sing with fans who were standing near the barricade. After the vocalist crawled back on-stage, the band abruptly abandoned the song. However, they resumed when Manson invited opener Alice Glass to take over on vocals. He had reportedly expressed safety concerns to his tour manager prior to the concert.
  The following night, at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, a large 750kg – approximately 1650lbs – stage prop consisting of two oversized pistols attached to one another via metal scaffolding fell on the vocalist. According to Manson, the metal truss supporting the prop had not been securely fastened to the ground. He later explained: "I wasn't trying to climb it. It started to fall and I tried to push [it] back, [but] I didn't get out the way in time. I'm not sure what I hit my head on, but it did fall onto my leg". The incident happened while the band were performing their cover of "Sweet Dreams". Manson lay unconscious on the stage for up to 15 minutes, before being carried out of the venue on a stretcher to a nearby hospital. The prop broke Manson's fibula in two places, and required a plate and ten screws to be inserted into the bone to repair the damage. He also had a screw inserted into his ankle to repair the damage sustained during the Pittsburgh show. He was discharged from hospital after several days, and spent time recuperating at his home in Los Angeles.
  The following nine dates of the North American leg were immediately cancelled, with the remaining October shows gradually cancelled over the next week. All of these shows – excluding festival appearances – were rescheduled for the beginning of 2018.
