The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review published an interview with Pittsburgh native Reba Meyers on September 17th 2025, ahead of Marilyn Manson's show in The Steel City on September 20th. In this interview Reba dives deeper than ever before about what its like being not only the newest but also the youngest current member of Marilyn Manson. She even talks about the Manson controversies that have been the focus of people's attention for the past five years, but instead of focusing on the controversies, she says the actual story is much more interesting and deserves to be more noticed: "The actual story of what’s happening is more interesting than the controversy by far. We have a lot more to teach people about with that. It’s like the real story is not even being noticed by most people, which is sad." For Reba, the actual story is a story of redemption: "But for me it’s about redemption, and I’ve seen that with the crowd, and the more important part to me is how people ...
Though the summer tour of Marilyn Manson with Slaughter to Prevail and Five Finger Death Punch has been announced, there has been no statement issued by any of the bands about the tour nor much information on what we can expect.
In a new interview with The Jesea Lee Show, Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory briefly discussed the band's upcoming tour with Marilyn Manson, among other things.
As he was talking about what new things to expect in the Five Finger Death Punch shows, including an incredible and unforgettable set designed to blow people's minds, he also mentioned (beginning at the 27:30 mark of the video below) the high expectation of people wanting to see Marilyn Manson, who has not toured since 2019. He said:
"Manson hasn't been out on the road for a while, so a lot of people wanna see him. 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 also mentioned how his band's lead singer, Ivan Moody, has been sober for a number of years. In 2012, Moody revealed that his alcoholism nearly got him fired from Five Finger Death Punch. Moody said he would perform drunk and not remember any of it the next day. In June 2017, Moody left a Five Finger Death Punch tour for rehab. Now knowing how Manson is also sober, Five Finger Death Punch want to support him for his return to the stage.
"[Manson's] also sober and clean, so we always support that, obviously. Ivan 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."
