Marilyn Manson drummer, Ginger Fish has apparently quit the band, issuing this statement:

After much deliberation and constant reflection of where my life has been and where it could or should be heading, I am regretful to inform the general population, and the fans, that I have decided to step down as a member of MARILYN MANSON and see where my life, and the knowledge of my availability cares to take me. I can't stand by to watch opportunities pass me by simply because the knowledge of my availability wasn't clearly expressed by me. I wish my brothers , and I expect nothing but great things from them. Any inquiries can be sent to bookgingerfish@gmail.com
