It's not exact;y a bromance on par with that of Brad Pitt and George Clooney's, but there's always been something special between industrial rocker Marilyn Manson and superstar actor Johnny Depp. Depp invited Manson to join him at the premiere of his film 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest', whilst Manson contributed a remixed version of 'The Nobodies' for another of Depp's films; 'From Hell'. And now, the pair have finally worked on a song together, covering Carly Simon's legendary kiss-off track 'You're so Vain' - a single that'll feature on Manson's new album 'Born Villain'.
Marilyn Manson continues to upend the mainstream with each new release, and his upcoming album Born Villain is about to take that notion a little bit further on May 1st - though the first single from the record, 'No Reflection' - is already out now.
The tumultuous relationship Marilyn Manson has cultivated with the public through his genre-defying music and anti-status quo message of thinking for oneself has resulted in sold-out tours, protests, legal battles, adoration, hate, more than 50 million records sales, award-winning distilled spirits, several Grammy nominations and, most importantly, a long list of some of the most enduring and powerful singles ever, such as 'The Beautiful People', 'I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)', 'The Fight Song', and 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).
Born Villain will be released on Cooking Vinyl and Manson's own label Hell, Etc. Marilyn Manson has had astounding success across the globe including three albums being certified platinum and three more certified gold in the USA, in addition to three top ten albums and two number-one albums (Mechanical Animals and The Golden Age of Grotesque). Leading up to the release of Born Villain, Marilyn Manson will be touring the United States for the first time since 2009. He kicks it off by headlining the Revolver “Golden Gods Awards” on April 11th at Club Nokia in Los Angeles – his first U.S. performance in nearly three years.
In other Manson news, the band performed 'The Beautiful People live with German industrial band Rammstein for the German music awards show ECHO. Checck out a video of the performance below.
