TYLER BATES Leaves MARILYN MANSON’s Touring Band, Will Continue Supporting Studio Releases

Tyler Bates has announced his departure from Marilyn Manson‘s touring band, bringing an end to a decade-long live collaboration while maintaining his creative partnership with the singer in the studio.

Bates — who co-produced and co-wrote 2015’s The Pale Emperor, 2017’s Heaven Upside Down, and 2024’s One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1 — shared the news earlier today via his social media accounts.

“Hello, Good People. Every New Year prompts reflection on all that has transpired and what lies ahead,” wrote Bates. “In light of this, I have decided to conclude my time touring with Marilyn Manson to focus on my artist, film, and television projects.

“I have enjoyed every minute working and performing with my bandmates, Gil Sharone, Reba Meyers, and Matt (Piggy D) Montgomery. They are stellar humans on and off stage. I will miss performing with them for the incredible audiences we met around the planet in support of One Assassination Under God: Chapter One.

“I’m stepping away, but I will be actively supporting the upcoming release of Chapter Two, my fourth album with Manson, which I believe is our finest work together. I wish M, the band, and the crew the best of success and good times moving forward. Thank you, the fans, for your loyalty and support of our new music and performances. I wish you all the very best for a fantastic and peaceful 2026. TB“
