Garbage

Garbage has a fall North American tour, and according to singer Shirley Manson, it will be their last. Manson cited safety and the way the industry had changed over the years. She wasn’t knocking the industry, as she said it had been good to the band, but touring has a lot more drawback in terms of pay and personal security.

“We’re not complaining, we’ve had a fucking great run. I bring this up only because my concern is, of course, for young musicians who go out there and tour. They’re holding down jobs, they take two weeks off work, and they go around the country. Sometimes they’re sleeping in their van, sometimes they’re staying in really, really dodgy so-called motels, and it’s dangerous. It’s really unacceptable and it really has to stop. Whatever’s going on, it really has to stop. It’s unsafe and it’s unacceptable..”
