Former Rob Zombie bassist Matt “Piggy D” Montgomery is now playing in Marilyn Manson‘s live band.
Following the launch of Manson’s tour, Montgomery wrote, “It is with immense gratitude that I stand with these beautiful and inspiring people on this amazing journey.”
Montgomery had played bass in Zombie’s band since 2006 before his departure was announced in January. He was replaced by original Zombie bassist Rob “Blasko” Nicholson.
Zombie and Manson have a history of sharing band members — guitarist John 5 played with both rockers.
Manson is currently on his first tour since his ex Evan Rachel Wood accused him of abuse in 2021, after which multiple other women came forward with allegations and legal action against him. Manson, born Brian Warner, has denied the allegations.
Ahead of the tour, Manson released his first single since Wood’s allegations, called “As Sick as the Secrets Within.”
