Get Betta Shirley! Garbage Cancel Tour As Miss Manson Sustains Injury, Requiring Surgery “No One Is More Crushed About This Than I Am.”
“Garbage have cancelled all remaining tour dates through 2024 due to an injury sustained by lead singer Shirley Manson, which will require surgery and subsequent rehabilitation.
The band announced the news in an Instagram post on Aug. 1.
“It is with great regret that we announce the cancellation of all our remaining dates for the rest of the year due to an injury that [frontwoman] Shirley [Manson] sustained on our recent tour in Europe that will require surgery and rehabilitation to correct.”
They added, “This is not a decision that we have taken lightly, and we apologise to our amazing fans and supportive promoters,” they wrote. “We look forward to playing for you all again in 2025.”
Manson also took to her personal social media account to share her disappointment in having to cancel shows.
“No one is more crushed about this than I am. You know I would push through if I could,” she wrote in the caption accompanying the band’s announcement.
The Scottish singer did not elaborate on the injury or how it was caused.
The band’s decision to cancel the tour was not made lightly, considering the number of major performances affected.
Among the impact dates were several high-profile festival appearances, including Ohana Fest in Dana Point, CA, and HFStival in Washington, DC. In light of the cancellation, Liz Phair will now step in for the band at HFStival, while DEVO will be added to the bill for Ohana Fest.” – Billboard.com
