ROCK band Garbage will split after their Australian tour this month. Singer Shirley Manson confirmed the million-record selling band will take an indefinite "hiatus" after the tour ends. "We've not stopped for 10 years," the Scot said in Melbourne yesterday. "We always swore if it wasn't 100 per cent fun we'd stop it. So that's what we've decided to do. It was important for us to say 'we're tired, this is becoming hard, we should stop right now'. "It's something we all felt was the right move. We discussed it in an adult fashion over dinner one day and since then a burden has been lifted from everybody and our live shows have been incredible." Garbage's impressive string of hit singles include Vow, Cherry Lips, Queer, Stupid Girl, Only Happy When It Rains, Push It, When I Grow Up, Why Do You Love Me?, Run Baby Run, Androgyny and Special. Rumours of a split first surfaced when Garbage cancelled the European leg of their world tour, due to take place after Australia. Diehard fans are flying from across the globe to see the final show on the Australian tour in Perth on October 1. Manson, however, said rather than any tension in the band -- who almost split during the making of current album Bleed Like Me -- it was being in "a good place" that led to the amicable split. "Things feel really positive in the band, which makes it a good time to take a break. "We just feel we've reached the end of our tether in terms of our touring cycle. I'm tired and I feel my life is out of control to a certain degree. I just need to get home. The rest of the band feels the same. "As the life of a band continues you start to reassess your life and the role music plays in it." But Manson said the band do not rule out regrouping in the future. "I don't think we feel Garbage will ever be completely over. It's part of our lives, we still all get on well and love each other. We're taking a hiatus, I don't know if we're calling it a day." Manson admits contemplating a solo career. "It's something I will undoubtedly pursue at some point, but I don't think I'll ever make music with another band," Manson said. Garbage play the Palais on Monday and the Forum next Wednesday. This made me really sad, I hope the band at the very least keeps in touch with eachother. I'm surprised that shirley said she wouldn't even work with another band, but i'm sure that's just the way she feels at the moment.

It's a nice way of saying that they are over... it's like saying that your grandad died but is watching you from heaven...

I wouldn't worry about this, because I know in a years time we will see them resurface, and I KNOW that Shirley will be in the limelight soon enough for something else. I am also waiting for the "OMGZ I CUT MYSELF LMAO <3" people....yay cutters!

I think they are over for at least 3 to 4 years, i think they have no idea what the future holds for them, but they are tired of being in garbage and just want to be home with their friends and family. I seriously doubt they will make another album from scratch, cause they have trouble making creative decisions. I'm hoping they will still talk to eachother and try to pursue getting a live dvd and or bsides album out. Who knows, garbage sure doesn't.

I think once a year or 2 comes up, they will grow weary of sitting around, and make something, and we'll wait another 3 years like always. I still hold hope, and if this is indeed a breakup, then I say, we celebrate that they sold over 16 million records worldwide and gave us awesome music. And I know pretty soon Shirley will be doing something, you'll see.

Butch should produce a solo Shirley record.

I would love to hear another producers angle and see what he can do with our goddess. I think Butch is mind-blowing when it comes to producing, but I think another producer could spruce up Shirley a bit with new sounds.

this is sad yes. depressing, okay. But, we've been hearing about it for over a month now. Yeah its sad but like Sarah said, I'd rather have heard Shirley say "we're done kids, its over" than have people just saying "ohhhh i think its over" and such. yeah its sad but honestly, i have a hard time believing this IS the end. It maybe a few years off but i think we'll see someting to be honest. maybe its just me trying to coap or whatever but still.

I don't think any of the boys would prodyce Shirley's album. That would be like almost like never leaving Garbage.

I'd love to see Shirley do a dance record or something, NOT like Gwen, but an authetic dance record, you know? I also wouldn't mind something like Jewel.
