Manson quits music
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 13 March 2009
Former Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson has revealed that she has quit the music business in favour of acting.
Recently she has become best known for her role in TV series ‘Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’, but speaking at the WonderCon convention in America she revealed that the change of career is permanent.
She told the audience at the convention: “I was sickened by my record company’s approach, which was, to me, essentially an uncreative process. I felt like there was nothing I was ever going to be able to do that was going to please them”.
“I didn’t want to play the corporate music gig where they want women to make nursery rhymes. I wasn’t prepared to do that. They keep churning out pop hits that no one gives a fuck about a year later. The business is not being run in a smart fashion”.
