Daisy Berkowitz of Marilyn Manson band passes away

Scott Putesky, who played under the name Daisy Berkowitz in Marilyn Manson's band, has passed away at age 49. The guitarist was diagnosed with stage-four colon cancer a few years ago and succumbed to the disease this week. Putesky formed the inital Marilyn Manon band with Manson and composed the majority of the music for the band's earliest releases. He left the band during the recording of Antichrist Superstar due to conflict with the album's producer, Trent Reznor. Manson stated, "Scott Putesky and I made great music together. We had our differences over the years, but I will always remember the good times more. Everyone should listen to 'Man That You Fear' in his honor. That was our favorite."
