Marilyn Manson has confirmed that he has, in fact, had a romantic relationship with pop rocker Avril Lavigne. He sent mixed messages regarding their relationship earlier this summer, but now admits they've been more than friends.
During an interview with Entertainment Wise, the shock rocker was asked outright if they were dating, to which he replied: "f**k that, she's Canadian."
While performing at the recent Heavy TO festival in Toronto, however, he changed his tune. During the performance Manson admitted that he meant no disrespect to his fans north of the border, adding that he was merely trying to keep their romantic tryst under wraps:
"No offense," he said, from the stage. "It's just that I was f*****g her and I didn't want anyone to know."
