Marilyn Manson and Lindsay Warner Celebrate 5th Wedding Anniversary


On May 15th 2025, Marilyn Manson and his wife Lindsay celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary. They were married on May 15th 2020. This year Manson and Lindsay are on the road for the "One Assassination Under God Tour", so they celebrated their anniversary in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where Manson would perform later that night. Lindsay also shared some photos and videos in her Instastories of herself and Manson, as well as some words about their relationship over a photo of their first initials drawn in the sands of Myrtle Beach. The next day, May 16th, Lindsay also shared that she is now seven years sober.

It should be noted also that two years ago on May 15th it was first announced by Manson that new music was on its way, and last year on May 15th Manson released a teaser video for his forthcoming new album under his new label Nuclear Blast Records. This year he is headlining sold out concerts in the United States.
