Marilyn Manson Brings Up Johnny Depp And Die Antwoord's Ninja For Encore Performance Of 'The Beautiful People' At L.A. Venue The Roxy
Marilyn Manson had a very cool Halloween gift for fans when he performed at the Roxy in L.A. on Friday night.
After the singer announced that he had "two surprises" while preparing to launch into his encore song "The Beautiful People," the one and only Johnny Depp strolled out onstage. Manson and Depp were then joined by Die Antwoord's Ninja, who completed a pretty epic gathering of musicians.
Depp played guitar on the song while Ninja continually dived out into the crowd, rapping as Manson sang.
This is not the first time Manson and Depp have performed together.
The duo, who have been good friends for many years, did a joint cover of Eurythmics' "Swee Dreams (Are Made of This)" at the 4th Annual Relvolver Golden Gods Awards in 2012. That same year they also collaborated on a version of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" for Manson's album "Born Villain.
In addition to Depp, 51, and Manson, 45, teaming up on music projects, Manson has supported his film star friend at the premiere of several movies.
According to ABC News, Manson made an appearance at the premiere of "Sleepy Hollow" in 1999, with then-girlfriend Rose McGowan. Manson also attended the opening of "Transcendence" earlier this year as well as "Blow" in 2001 and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" in 2006.
The affection between the pals was apparent on stage during Friday's concert. Manson continually tried to grab Depp while he was jamming out on the guitar. The singer also attempted to place his hat on Depps head and, at one point, all three star musicians did a group hug-like gesture.
