Garbage Announces End of Large-Scale Tours in North America

Alternative rock veterans Garbage have announced the completion of major tours in North America, their last major tour in the region. This was announced by soloist Shirley Manson, explaining in detail the reasons for the decision at a recent concert in Denver. This was painful news for the fans of the group. Her speech at all the recent concerts, in brief, sounded like this: "next tours have become impossible for our band" and is "an alarm bell for the young musicians coming after us." Without fair support and effective unions, the average musician is left with just $12 a month from Spotify, while other members of the music industry, such as accountants, lawyers and Ticketmaster, continue to make huge profits. “We risk losing an entire generation of talented and courageous musicians,” she said, urging people to support live music and purchase vinyl whenever possible.
