Manson: "It is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen"
"I acquired a Marlene Dietrich portrait from Helnwein that is signed by her" he says. "It is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen"
Marilyn Manson found himself in hospital this week, the victim of stress and exhaustion in the rush to get his next record out. He tells fans at his official website "This week was strenuous and I landed myself in the hospital as a result of “going too far” in the creation process. I am fine now and glad to be back in the studio.

We have just completed the last track for the album and it is my favorite so far".
Manson's also says he has started his own art collection and is now the proud owner of a Marlene Dietrich work. "I acquired a Marlene Dietrich portrait from Helnwein that is signed by her" he says. "It is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen". He purchased the work of art at Gottfried Helnwein's first L.A. show last month.
Art is the new love and career move for Marilyn Manson. He will hold an exhibition of his own original work in Los Angeles on September 18 and 19. For those interested in attending, it will be at Les Deux Cafes in Hollywood, CA.
The next Marilyn Manson album The Golden Age of Grotesque, produced by Manson, Skold and Ben Grosse is expected in September on Interscope Records.
