Shirley Manson Announces Tour Cancellation Due to Injury

Garbage has announced the cancellation of all their remaining 2024 tour dates due to an injury sustained by frontwoman Shirley Manson, which requires surgery and rehabilitation. In a heartfelt Instagram update, Manson described her condition upon returning from the European tour, sharing that she was in such poor health that her husband had to assist her in airports. She also expressed concern about potentially damaging her vocal cords but was reassured by her doctor that they were in good condition. The band, which includes members Butch Vig, Duke Erikson, and Steve Marker, has apologized to fans and promised to return to the stage in 2025. Notably, the canceled dates include performances at major festivals like Ohana Fest and HFStival, which will feature replacements Liz Phair and Devo. Manson's earlier health issues, including a hip replacement in 2016, highlight the physical toll that touring can take on artists.
