Marilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson has been denied entry into a cathedral in Cologne, Germany.

The singer claims that it was due to the fact he was wearing lipstick.

He said: "Unfortunately they didn't let me in, probably because I was wearing lipstick."

Manson was in the German city as part of his European tour.

He is set to begin a co-headlining tour with Slayer on July 25 in the US at the Sound Advice Amphitheatre in Florida.
