Shirley Manson
Shirley Manson, front woman of garbage, was born August 26, 1966 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Shirley has an younger and older sister. Her mother was a formerly famous big band singer. Shirley would get picked on a lot in school because of the way she looked. Kids used to call her a dead fish. And once, when trying out for a school play, she wound up with the part of the Wicked Witch from the West. Eventually she lost interest in education in high school and spent most of her time drinking, smoking, and listening to rock n roll. At age 16 she joined her boyfriend's rock band called Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie as a backup singer and a keyboardist. The band lasted for about 10 years but then they broke up and and soon Shirley landed as lead singer in a band called Angelfish. Their hit Suffocate Me appeared on MTV a few times but then the group broke up and Shirley was without a band. Then she tried out to be in garbage and made it...and now here we are. Shirley is married to an Scottish artist named Eddie Farrell.
