The news comes just weeks after multiple women came forward with allegations of abuse against the American singer, including his ex Evan Rachel Wood.
The 52-year-old, whose real name is Brian Warner, has vehemently denied their allegations.

The musician and the actress were briefly engaged in 2010, before they called it quits less than a year later.
After Evan’s claims hit headlines, the 52-year-old released a statement via social media, insisting his relationships “have always been entirely consensual”.
He wrote: “Obviously, my art and my life have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality.”
“My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners. Regardless of how – and why – others are now choosing to misrepresent the past, that is the truth.”
