Have Garbage split? (rumour)

According to GIGWISE.com, “Following rumours of a split earlier this year, it now appears that Garbage may have finally called it a day, with an announcement that all European dates on their 2005 world tour have been cancelled.
A statement released on Friday placed the blame for the cancellation on the band’s heavy workload and in particular their touring in 2005, though the fact that their tour schedule fails to differ from any other popular band’s touring schedule or the fact that it is only the second tour they have done in the last seven years was not mentioned.”
On a Melbourne’s Herald Sun interview, Shirley was quoted saying “We knew we had one last good album in us left” and “I want to make a solo album one day”. Also said how she loves touring too much at the moment but now that’s out of the way.
Also, according to a Butch Vig interview a few time ago, “The future is up in the air,” he says. “We’re all trying to enjoy the moment and play good shows. Like I said, it could be our last tour. We want to try to stay in the moment.”
Butch’s mom passed away very recently, and Matt Walker replaced Butch at least on their Chicago Show.
Official news so far confirm October’s UK and European tour cancellation, but confirm the August and September’s US, Canada and Australia’s dates. Garbage are also gonna perform on Rove on September 20th.
