Marilyn Manson Diagnosed With Swine Flu

Marilyn Manson has swine flu. The “We’re From America” rocker has been officially diagnosed with the H1N1 virus, although he does not have a life-threatening case and is expected to make a speedy recovery.

Joking about his diagnosis on his MySpace Celebrity blog, he wrote: “So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU.”

“I know everyone will suggest that f***ing a pig is how this disease was obtained.”

“However, the doctor said my past choices in women have in no way contributed to me acquiring this mysterious sickness. Unfortunately, I am going to survive. M [sic]”

Manson isn’t the only celebrity to have been diagnosed with the potentially fatal disease, which originated in Mexico and has the symptoms of a heavy cold.

“Harry Potter” actor Rupert Grint – who plays Ron Weasley in the hit wizard film franchise – thought he was going to die when he contracted the highly contagious disease.

He said: “It was quite scary when I first found out I had swine flu. I thought, ‘Am I going to die?’ But it was just like any other flu really. I had a sore throat and I went to bed for a few days.”

Kasabian singer Tom Meighan was rushed to hospital in Sydney, Australia, where he was diagnosed with the virus.

A day later, his bandmates guitarist Serge Pizzorno, bassist Chris Edwards and drummer Ian Matthews were left bedridden after coming down with the same symptoms.
