“Was struck w/ acute appendicitis…took out that appendix last night. Recovering today & the next week or so,” the 19-year-old wrote yesterday on her Twitter account.

Marilyn Manson Diagnosed with Swine Flu

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rock,

UPDATE: The musician’s concert promoters deny Manson has the virus.

“Tainted Love” singer Marilyn Manson has just been revealed that he’s been tainted…with the H1N1 virus.

The 40-year-old, who lists former wife Dita Von Teese and Evan Rachel Wood among his exes, recently announced the news via his Facebook page. “So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU,” he wrote. “I know everyone will suggest that f****** a pig is how this disease was obtained. However, the doctor said, my past choices in women have, in ‘no way’ contributed to me acquiring this mysterious sickness. Unfortunately, I am going to survive.”

Although Manson was in the middle of a Canadian tour when the diagnosis was made, he has no intention of canceling his scheduled gigs. In fact, he was recently filmed shooting snot onto attendees at a show in Ottawa.

Marilyn is the not the first celebrity to publicly reveal a swine flu diagnosis. Back in July, it was announced that Harry Potter star Rupert Grint had missed several days of filming after contracting the virus.
