On July 31st, Marilyn Manson and his wife Lindsay Warner were among 110 invited guests of Ozzy Osbourne's nearest and dearest to attend his private funeral at his 250-acre estate near Gerrards Cross. Guests were sent a simple black invitation with a picture of a cross that read: “In loving memory of Ozzy Osbourne.” They were transported from The Crowne Plaza and The Bull in Gerrards Cross to the house at 2pm, with the service starting at 3pm. Pictures of Ozzy were dotted throughout the house and a photograph of him was given to everyone who attended to take home with them. A huge floral tribute was seen at the mansion that spelled out “Ozzy fucking Osbourne.” Fans left tributes at the gate of the estate. The ceremony comes just one day after Osbourne’s family and friends came together in Birmingham, England, for a funeral procession. At the private funeral on Thursday, a slew of famous musicians paid tribute to the heavy metal icon, including Osbourne’s Black Sabbath bandmat...
Valentine's Day has long been a significant day for Marilyn Manson for many reasons, but this year it so happened that Marilyn Manson and his wife Lindsay celebrated Valentine's Day in Brno, Czech Republic while on his European tour.
Earlier in the day, both Manson and Lindsay posted a series of photos for Valentine's Day. The photos of Manson were photographed by Lindsay, and one was captioned "They’d remember this as Valentine’s Day" (which Lindsay captioned as "Always") while the other said "Meet Me In Purgatory" (which Lindsay captioned as "within the fog and trees").

Later that night, as an introduction to his performance of "Meet Me In Purgatory", Manson made a sweet Valentine dedication to his beloved wife who stuck by him through the best of times and the worst of times. He said the following:
My dearly devoted...
How many of you..., raise your hands if you're in love...
How about just for Valentine's Day...
I have someone who stuck by me through the worst, the best - I will be with them forever.
This is Meet Me In Purgatory.
How many of you..., raise your hands if you're in love...
How about just for Valentine's Day...
I have someone who stuck by me through the worst, the best - I will be with them forever.
This is Meet Me In Purgatory.
This beautiful introduction to the song also confirms for us who Manson had in mind when writing "Meet Me In Purgatory".
