Post-Manson Daisy Berkowitz

MARILYN MANSON AND THE SPOOKY KIDS co-founder/guitarist DAISY BERKOWITZ (real name: SCOTT PUTESKY) has died at the age of 49 from complications of colon cancer, ROLLING STONE reports. Putesky played on 1994’s Portrait of an American Family and 1995’s Smells Like Children EP before leaving the band before the release of 1996’s Antichrist Superstar due to creative differences with MANSON and producer TRENT REZNOR.

In a statement on INSTAGRAM, MARILYN MANSON writes, “SCOTT PUTESKY and I made great music together. We had our differences over the years, but I will always remember the good times more.”

After leaving the band, PUTESKY played in MANSON-affiliated band JACK OFF JILL, worked with THREE TON GATE and put out solo work.
