Tracks of the maniac were played at the ceremony, including two of which became famous in covers of Guns N ‘Roses (“Look At Your Game, Girl”) and Beach Boys (“Never Learn Not to Love” ).
Manson died on November 17, 2017, at age 83, of respiratory and cardiac failure after suffering from bowel cancer.
He was the founder and leader of a group that committed several murders in the United States in the late 1960s, including actress Sharon Tate (then eight months pregnant), wife of film director Roman Polanski. Sentenced to death in 1971, with the penalty subsequently turned into a life sentence, he served his sentence until November 19, 2017 at Corcoran State Penitentiary in California and was transferred to a hospital in Kern County, where he died.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
