Marilyn Manson has finally found a new drummer for his band. The rock icon recently confirmed on social media that Brandon Pertzborn will take over the drumming kit on his live shows.
Manson found himself without a drummer when Gil Sharone departed back in March. Sharone, who played with the “Tainted Love” rocker for the past five years, left in order to “pursue other current and future projects.”
It was rumored that Pertzborn, who worked with hip-hop group Ho99o9 in recent years, will take over from Sharone past couple of weeks, but there was no official confirmation.
Now, Marilyn Manson made it official by posting a photo of himself with Pertzborn on Instagram and writing: “I went to see a film with @strainsofhorror Shayne and my drummer Brandon @brandonpertzborn.”
Brandon Pertzborn was a drummer for several bands since 2014 including Black Flag, Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, and Suicidal Tendencies. He was also part of Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor’s backing band at his solo gigs.
Fans will get a chance to see Pertzborn in action in the next couple of weeks when Manson embarks on a The Twins Of Evil: Hell Never Dies Tour with Rob Zombie on July 9th.
