Published Date: 14 March 2009
SCOTS rocker Shirley Manson has denied claims she is quitting the music business to concentrate on her acting career.
The Garbage star was reported this week as to being "disillusioned" with the music business.

But the Edinburgh-born singer has hit back on her Facebook blog by saying the rumours are not true.

In the online message to her thousands of loyal fan
s, she said: "Just a quick note to say it is absolute nonsense that I am 'quitting the music industry'.

"I have no idea where this report came from but it most certainly didn't come from me. I am not a quitter. It's just not my thing.

"Perhaps it's wishful thinking on behalf of a journalist but, oh woopsie, too bad. Sorry to break it to you, but the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."

Manson, 42, is currently starring as Catherine Weaver in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Virgin 1.

The award-winning frontwoman has also revealed to fans she is about to go under the knife in a mystery operation.

She said: "I am having an operation and in the unlikely event that I die or become brain damaged can I just say that I have had the most wonderful life and can't think of a lovelier way to have lived than to live creatively."

Well thank god that's all cleared up. It would have been awful if a minor former pop singer went on to do something else. Did you know she cane from Edinburgh? It's true.

Is the operation as false as the statement?
