Garbage have scrapped their upcoming UK and European Tour, and rumours persist that the band are about to announce that Garbage are no more.

The grunge-rockers, fronted by Scottish-lass Shirley Manson, blamed a heavy workload on the cancellation, citing that touring since March has taking an heavy toll on the band.

Touring in support of current album 'Bleed Like Me', this was just the bands second tour in over seven years.

Affected UK dates are:

October 2005

12 - Manchester Apollo
14 - Cardiff Arena
16 - Portsmouth Guildhall
17 - London Hammersmith Apollo
20 - Birmingham NIA
22 - Glasgow Academy
23 - Edinburgh Usher Hall

Tickets will be refunded in full from point of purchase.
