Marilyn Manson 'Not Suffering From Swine Flu'

Concert promoters have denied Marilyn Manson's claims that he is suffering from swine flu.

The outspoken rocker claimed he'd caught the virus last week, when he wrote on his blog: "So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU."

"I know everyone will suggest that f***ing a pig is how this disease was obtained. However, the doctor said, my past choices in women have, in 'no way' contributed to... me acquiring this mysterious sickness. Unfortunately, I am going to survive. M."

Yet promoters for Manson's Canadian tour say otherwise. They say in a statement: "The Gillett Entertainment Group and Live Nation confirmed today that contrary to rumours circulating, Marilyn Manson is not suffering from swine flu."
