Garbage have issued a statement regarding their tour cancellation due to frontwoman Shirley Manson’s unspecified injury, stating that all of their remaining 2024 tour dates have been canceled, but they plan to return to the stage in 2025.

While the band didn’t specify what type of injury Manson sustained, the vocalist assured fans in the caption of the post that she would do the tour if she could, writing: “No one is more crushed about this than I am. You know I would push through if I could.”   It remains unclear which show Manson was injured at; the last concert Garbage played was on July 20 at the OVO Arena in Wembley, England.

The band’s social media statement read: “It is with great and sincere regret that we announce the cancelation of all our remaining tour dates for the rest of the year due to an injury that Shirley sustained on our recent tour in Europe that will require surgery and rehabilitation to correct. This is not a decision we have taken lightly and we apologize wholeheartedly to our amazing fans and supportive promoters. We look forward to playing for you all again in 2025.”

Eddie Vedder’s Ohana Festival also announced that Devo would take Garbage’s place at the fest.  Garbage were originally set to perform on Sept. 27 with Pearl Jam, Crowded House, Maren Morris, Keanu Reeves’ Dogstar and a few others:  “We are excited to welcome DEVO to our lineup on Friday, 9/27 👏 Unfortunately, Garbage will no longer be joining us this year. We wish Shirley Manson a speedy recovery. Tickets, Hotel Packages and waitlists are available at http://ohanafest.com/tickets”
