In 2004, a court case against Marilyn Manson was dismissed after both parties reached a settlement. The court case involved a security guard accusing Manson of sexual assault after Manson allegedly put his legs around the guard’s neck and gyrated against him during a show in Detroit. Manson was ordered to pay $4,000 in fines and courts costs.
And finally in 1990, Freddie Mercury made his final public appearance, accepting the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music with his bandmates from Queen.
