Shirley not feeling so garbage

news0091.thumbnail.jpgGarbage singer Shirley Manson has said she is almost back to full health after being told to rest by doctors – fearful that her lifestyle could be damaging her health.
The band are currently on a US tour, and are returning to Europe in the summer for more dates and festival appearances. Manson was ordered to rest by doctors and given a course of antibiotics to help her avoid cancelling any shows.
Now, writing to fans on the band’s official website, she said the rest is doing her good.
She commented: “Spent my entire day off in bed yesterday. Napped like a baby on and off all afternoon. I’m desperately trying to be a good girl and not tax my voice on days off but it’s so hard for me cause it means that I end up missing out on all the shenanigans. And yes it does get a little boring sometimes but also in a mildly perverted kind of a way it’s rather a divine, nun-like way to exist too.
“I’m beginning to feel a little better these days and my energy levels are creeping slowly back to normal. I even managed to do a full work out before the show so that’s definitely a good sign and if I keep improving like this I will feel so much happier. ”
