Just saw this article at Radio 1....so dunno if you all have seen it.....but here goes....
Garbage recruit Larry Mullen Jnr?
Updated: 15 Nov 2001
Garbage played a special one-off low key gig in London last night (Weds) without their drummer - the legendary former Nirvana producer, Butch Vig.
He's recovering from Hepatitis A which he apparently contracted whilst on tour with U2 in the States last month.
Replacement drummer, Matt Chamberlain, stood in for Butch yesterday but Shirley said they had an amazing offer from U2's drummer Larry Mullen:
"When Butch got struck down and laid in hospital, Larry was the first up there saying, 'I'll play. I don't want you to have to cancel any shows.'"
"I thought that was an amazing offer - so generous."
She told Radio 1 whilst both bands are great mates now, she wasn't that impressed before touring with them:
"I've never been a huge fan until the last few weeks when I've become rabid!"
That would be quite something if the offer by Larry was really taken up wouldnt it?
I dont recall Larry making an offer like this before.... if you have heard this before let me know......
