Former MARILYN MANSON Bassist GIDGET GEIN Reportedly Found Dead In Burbank
October 10, 2008Lina Lecaro of the LA Weekly's music blog "Play" reports that former MARILYN MANSON bassist Gidget Gein (a.k.a. Brad Stewart) was found dead yesterday in his home in Burbank, California. He was a victim of an apparent drug overdose.
Gein, who was reportedly kicked out of MARILYN MANSON due to drug problems just as the band was breaking through (and replaced by Twiggy Ramirez, who many say copped his style and look),recently completed a stint in rehab for what was apparently not the first time. Good pal Lenora Claire tells LA Weekly, "He had just got a book deal, was recording a record with the guy who produced the first JANE'S ADDICTION record and just landed a solo show at La Luz de Jesus that he had wanted for years." She says she plans to make sure the show, set for February of next year, still happens no matter what.
