During a recent interview on The Jesea Lee Show, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH guitarist Zoltan Bathory delved into the band’s forthcoming tour alongside Marilyn Manson. This tour, commencing in early August, signifies the shock rocker’s return to live performances for the first time since 2019.
“Manson hasn’t been out on the road for a while, so a lot of people wanna see him,” Zoltan said. “At one point he was one of the most iconic artists on planet earth. So he’s back on stage, back in the saddle. That’s gonna be amazing. He’s also sober and clean, so we always support that, obviously. Ivan [Moody, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH singer] had a dark period, and he was gone, man.
“My little brother was on the brink of dying, man, and he came back from that. And he’s clean and sober for six years. If he can do it, somebody who was that gone can do it, and he’s now a different man, then it’s a good example for anyone else. If you’re struggling, man, don’t give up. You can come back from that. And Manson is sober and he’s staying clean and doing the work, so also we’re supporting that. So it’s gonna be an amazing tour.”
