Even Marilyn Manson isn’t safe from the flu. The 40-year-old Manson, who has been busy touring around the world, has become a victim of the quickly-spreading swine flu.

Manson posted on his Facebook page, “So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU. I know everyone will suggest that f****** 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.”

Manson jokingly concluded, “Unfortunately, I am going to survive.”
