[trash-talk] Dear worried and confused... garbage responds.

[Shell Bryson]

The band asked us to publish the following letter on 
Garbage.com, so I'm posting it here too FYI...



"Dear worried and confused,

After reading all the bullshit out there about the future 
of
Garbage ,we felt compelled to write a few lines here to 
address the issue and set the record straight.

Certain journalists have taken the liberty of running 
wildly
inaccurate stories in recent days about our so called 
"break-up". Made up out of cobbled together,out of context 
quotes to feed some perverse agenda of their own,these 
stories are nothing more than idle speculation and are 
completely inaccurate.

   The truth of the matter is really simple and 
surprisingly hard to misconstrue. For more than ten years, 
we have been in a cycle of album-making and touring and 
for the first time in our history, we have made a decision 
to break that cycle and take some time off. What does that 
mean? We are NOT breaking up. However, we ARE taking some 
much-deserved time off to spend with our families and 
friends.  How much time? We don't know.

This decision came as a difficult yet necessary one in 
order to preserve something we hold very dear. The last 
ten years have been an incredible experience for all of us 
and we appreciate all the freedom, love and support you 
have so generously given us during that time. We are 
eternally grateful to you all and we look forward to the 
next chapter in all of our lives with great excitement and 
enthusiasm.

True Love Forever,

Garbage."
