You may not have many more chances to see the band Garbage live. In March, shortly before the release of their new album Let All That We Imagine Be The Light, the veteran alt-rockers announced plans for a North American tour that'll kick off next month. It'll be their first headlining tour on this side of the pond in about a decade, and apparently it'll also be their last. In an Instagram post last night, Garbage said that their upcoming run will be their "last North American headline tour."
Garbage leader Shirley Manson is obviously Scottish, but the rest of the band is American. If the band's Happy Endings tour really is their last in America, then you'd have to imagine this band is getting ready to wrap things up. Of course, plenty of bands' final tours don't really turn out to be their final tours, but Garbage strike me as the sort of group that stands on business. Here's what they wrote:
Yesterday saw the commencement of rehearsals for our last North American headline tour . We haven’t played an extensive headline tour like this one in the States for almost a decade. If the truth be told, it is unlikely we will play many of the cities on this tour ever again.
We are going out on the road with the spectacular @starcrawler, fronted by superstar @arrowdewilde, who is one of the most exciting front people of her generation.
We are going out in style and we hope you will join us. That’s life my friends.
Nothing stays the same forever. Everything must change.
All beautiful things come to an end.
We love you.
