Gidget Gein

Artist

Bradley Mark “Brad” Stewart, September 11, 1969, (stage name Gidget Gein) was the second bassist for Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids which he joined in 1990. He was fired by Marilyn Manson in 1993 following a drug overdose.

Following his firing, he initially attempted to form his own band, Gidget Gein and the Dali Gaggers, but his addiction led to its collapse. He moved to Florida and worked for the medical examiners office for some time bagging corpses. This led him to start creating art and fashion informed by these morbid experiences. He eventually moved to L.A. to continue doing both under the name GOLLYWOOD.

His addiction was not overcome and on October 8, 2008, he was found dead of a suspected overdose.
