Garbage have cancelled their remaining shows in 2024 due to an injury sustained by frontwoman Shirley Manson.

In an Instagram post today (August 2), the NME Icon Award-winner shared the message on behalf of the band on their account. They wrote that Manson’s injury will “require surgery and rehabilitation to correct” and that the decision was not “taken lightly”.

“No one is more crushed about this than I am. You know I would push through if I could,” Manson wrote in the post’s caption. In the statement, the band also clarified that they will be back on the road in 2025.

The response from fans was swift, along with well-wishes from her musician peers like The Smashing PumpkinsBilly Corgan, Sharon van Etten, Kathleen Hanna, and Silversun Pickups, along with actresses Traci Lords and Rosanna Arquette. “I really hope the surgery goes well and people sneak you in some decent food!” wrote Hanna.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first injury sustained by Manson while on tour. In 2016, Manson fell off a stage during a Garbage set in Los Angeles. She underwent hip replacement surgery last year to address it.

Garbage will also release their eighth studio album in the near-future – in April, Manson told NME that they have been busy at work on it, giving a preview of what’s to come after 2021’s successful ‘No Gods No Masters’.

“Going into this next record, I feel a shift,” she revealed. “I’m trying to dampen my outrage. As a society, we’ve become so beaten down and broken-hearted. I’m trying to reach for something that’s a little bigger than me, because if I don’t then I’m going to drown in my own dismay.”
