A concert by US shock rocker Marilyn Manson has been cancelled in a major Russian city over fears his performance would insult Orthodox believers and promote sadomasochism. "There will be no Marilyn Manson concert in Novosibirsk," concert organisers said, referring to Russia's third largest city and the administrative centre of Siberia. "Authorities of all levels have denied us permission to hold the concert on June 29," the firm, Sibirskie Gastroli, said in a statement posted on Russia's social network VKontakte on Thursday afternoon. Hundreds of religious activists had protested against Manson's plans to perform in the city, accusing the US enfant terrible of insulting Russian Orthodox believers.
