This just in, from the Manson wire via Kansas City (link not yet available):

Marilyn Manson performed last night at "The Freakers Ball" event at Kansas City International Raceway to approximately 12,000 concert-goers. During Manson's set a barricade -- used to block the audience from the stage -- broke twice, the second time causing the venue to stop the show due to safety concerns.

Manson states: "Even though the show was stopped twice for safety reasons, we wanted nothing more than to continue to play. Although we were not allowed to finish the show, we understand that safety needs to come first."

Approximately 100 police officers, some in full riot gear, were called to the scene. Only minor injuries were reported.

Well, only minor injuries.
