The frontwoman is about to play TRNSMT before her 58th birthday - and is 'enjoying every moment'.
After every gig on Garbage's current tour, Shirley Manson says farewell to the city she's in - as she doesn't know if she'll ever play there again.
"My dad’s still alive so I come back to Scotland a lot," she says. "I’ve still got a home in Edinburgh so I never feel like I’ve left per se. "There is still a lot of opportunity for women in the music business if you are willing to play the game. That means if you’re pleasing, if you’re sexy and you’re willing to mind your mouth and your manners then you can flourish very well.
Some critics may have sniffed at the band early on, dubbing them a "studio project" but acclaim and chart success followed. However as well as the future, the band have reflected on the past too - and the memories are not always pleasant.The making of that album proved so difficult the group went into hiatus for several years afterwards, after constant interference from their then-record label, Interscope."There were a lot of bands willing to adopt a more pop approach, and it was just something that we decided we couldn’t live with. We wanted to be who we were, for better and for worse.
That includes the support on their current tour, Glasgow group Lucia and the Best Boys, who Shirley refers to as "my wee sister, or my child" with a laugh.
