Garbage - Garbage Consider Trashing It All

Rockers GARBAGE are taking some time to consider their future together once they complete tour dates in Australia next month (OCT05).

The group has announced it will be taking "an indefinite break" - and singer SHIRLEY MANSON fears that could mark a permanent split for the STUPID GIRL hitmakers.

The Scottish singer says, "I don't know if we're calling it a day... We've not stopped for 10 years. We always swore if it wasn't 100 per cent fun, we'd stop it."

Speculation about the future of the four-piece, founded by producer and drummer BUTCH VIG, has been rife since they cancelled European dates that were scheduled after the Australian tour dates.

Vig confessed to Billboard.com earlier this year that the group almost split while making current album BLEED LIKE ME.

He admitted, "Because we were on the verge of losing it all, we made the album of our career."
