Marilyn Manson's claim that he recently contracted swine flu has been dismissed by tour promoter Live Nation.

The rocker posted a message on his Facebook page last week that suggested he had been diagnosed with the H1N1 virus.

"So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU," he allegedly wrote.

However, a spokesperson for the company has since issued a statement denying the reports, says Contactmusic.
