Manson will be able to drown his sorrows in work. He is currently in the U.K. prepping for his European-Asian tour, which kicks off on January 21st, in Birmingham, England, and runs until March 20th in Tokyo. Manson then plans to return to U.S. stages in April and May, with Slipknot in tow.

“Karma Chameleon”

Culture Club | 1983

Boy George has said this song was about standing by what you believe in. However, at the time, he was involved in a secret affair with Culture Club drummer Jon Moss. "Now people can understand the songs better," he said. "They were written about my relationship with Jon, and they were also written about being a gay man in a homophobic world." The lines "If I listen to your lies, would you say/I'm a man without conviction/I'm a man who doesn't know how to sell a contradiction," described his life at the time, he said. "I was selling this big lie."
