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. & quot;There will be no Marilyn Manson concert in Novosibirsk, & quot; concert organisers said, referring to Russia & #039;s third largest city and the administrative centre of Siberia. & quot;Authorities of all levels have denied us permission to hold the concert on June 29, & quot; the firm, Sibirskie Gastroli, said in a statement posted on Russia & #039;s social network VKontakte on Thursday afternoon. Hundreds of religious activists had protested against Manson & #039;s plans to perform in the city, accusing the US enfant terrible of insulting Russian Orthodox believers.
