Marilyn Manson Drummer Quits Band After 15 Years

February 25, 2011
Marilyn Manson Drummer Quits Band After 15 YearsMarilyn Manson's drummer Ginger Fish has quit the band after 15 years.

The drummer, real name Kenneth Robert Wilson, has been playing with Manson since 1995.

In a statement he said: "I have decided to step down as a member of Marilyn Manson and see where my life, and the knowledge of my availability cares to take me."

"I can't stand by to watch opportunities pass me by simply because the knowledge of my availability wasn't clearly expressed by me. I wish my brothers well, and I expect nothing but great things from them."

Fish's departure leaves only Manson and collaborator Twiggy Ramirez as current members of the band.

Meanwhile, Marilyn Manson is set to judge the Austrian version of The X Factor, it has emerged.
