In March this year, Gil Sharone announced he was leaving Marilyn Manson’s band after five years behind the kit.

He said in a statement that he was quitting to “pursue other current and future projects,” adding: “Much love to Marilyn Manson and the homies I shared the stage with – and to the fans. It’s been a blast.”

There's been speculation as to who would replace Sharone in the lineup – and with Manson's The Twins Of Evil: Hell Never Dies Tour with Rob Zombie due to start in a few weeks, it looks as if it's Brandon Pertzborn has joined Manson's band full-time.

Manson posted a picture of the pair together on Twitter with the caption: "Me and my drummer Brandon Pertzborn." 

Pertzborn has performed live with various artists since 2014, including Black Flag, Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, Suicidal Tendencies, Corey Taylor and is a member of US hip-hop outfit Ho99o9.

Fans will get a chance to see Pertzborn in action when The Twins Of Evil: Hell Never Dies Tour kicks off in Baltimore on July 9.

It was recently announced that Manson would star alongside Sharon Stone in new HBO series The New Pope.
