Burning bibles, dagger shaped microphones and blood - just some of the theatrical props at live shows we're accustomed to from Marilyn Manson.

As he prepares to come to the UK following his disastrous performance at Download Festival in the summer, Brian has unveiled his latest stage gimmick – laser gloves.

Marilyn performed in St Petersburg in Russia last night as part of his European jaunt and unveiled the killer gloves.

Manson comes to the UK for a string of dates in December.
