Manson sells up after death threats

Goth-rocker Marilyn Manson is selling the Chatsworth, California retreat he bought in a bid to escape Hollywood after receiving death threats following the Columbine High School massacre.

The 'Antichrist Superstar' hitmaker decided it was time to seek a hideaway when people started blaming his music for the 1999 high school killings in Colorado.

Manson, real name Brian Warner, lived in the Mediterranean mansion with his ex-wife Dita Von Teese, and, until recently, his new girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood.

The five-bedroom property is on the market for $1.1m.

The gated home, which was built in 1937 and once owned by Hollywood greats Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor, comes with a pool, a library and a recording studio space in the garage.
