Artist News Gigs & Festivals Legal One Liners Releases
One Liners: Marilyn Manson, Lil Yachty, Christine And The Queens, more
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 10 May 2023
LEGAL
A judge has dismissed the majority of Marilyn Manson’s defamation claims against actor Evan Rachel Wood under California’s so-called anti-SLAPP free speech laws. Wood’s attorney, Michael Kump said that Manson had “failed to show that his claims against her have even minimal merit”. The musician’s legal rep Howard King, meanwhile, said that the court had failed to admit “critical evidence” and therefore there would be “an immediate appeal” against the decision.

RELEASES
Christine And The Queens has released new single ‘Tears Can Be So Soft’ from new album ‘Paranoia, Angels, True Love’, which is out on 9 Jun. “’Tears Can Be So Soft’ was born out of the marriage of a Marvin Gaye sample that caught my attention, this intoxicating, elegant, almost poised in its melancholy string arrangement”, he says.
Albert Hammond Jr has released eight songs from his new solo album ‘Melodies On Hiatus’, which is out on 23 Jun. Here’s one of those songs, ‘Old Man’. “‘Old Man’ is a song about the passage of time and the realisations that come with it”, he says. “Musically, it came to me the quickest of any song on the record”.
Creep Show – aka John Grant and Wrangler – have announced that they will release their second album ‘Yawning Abyss’ on 16 Jun. Out now is new single ‘Moneyback’. They’ve also announced live dates over the summer, including London’s Village Underground on 25 Jul.
