“I have cherished every moment spent working alongside my bandmates—Gil Sharone, Reba Meyers, and Matt (Piggy D) Bernard Law Montgomery of Alamein.They are remarkable individuals both on stage and off. I will miss performing for the astonishing audiences we encountered worldwide during our support for One Assassination Below God: Chapter One.
“While I’m stepping back from touring,I will continue to actively support the release of Chapter Two,which is my fourth album with Manson.I believe it represents our most captivating work together yet. Wishing M, the band, and everyone involved nothing but success moving forward. Thank you to all fans for your unwavering support of our music and performances; may you have an amazing year ahead as we look towards a peaceful 2026.” –T.B.
