Marilyn Manson isn’t supporting either presidential candidate.

The shock rocker told Rolling Stone magazine that he has no intention of voting for either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump this November because “neither one of them appeal to me.”

“I don’t find either candidate to my liking, so I choose to stand out of this one,” he said. “And I don’t think that’s a coward’s stance. A lot of people might say that. I just don’t really want to be a part of this piece of history. Last time, I did want to be involved in some piece of history as a voter.”

“The Dope Show” and “The Beautiful People” singer said in 2009 that he supported President Barack Obama. He said it was the first time he voted for president.

Unfazed Feldman planning return to “Today”: After being widely ridiculed for a wacky music performance on the “Today” show last week, former child star Corey Feldman got down on his knees and prayed to God.

In the number, a hooded Feldman executed dance moves inspired by Michael Jackson while accompanied by a band comprised of women wearing halos and wings.

“It’s obviously a bit tongue and cheek,” he said Thursday.

Now, Feldman is plotting how to capitalize on his newfound attention. First, he’s returning to the “Today” show in the coming weeks for another performance.
