Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson says she fell on stage during a rain-soaked festival performance and claims nobody checked if she was okay afterwards.
Posting to social media after the show, the singer shared a blunt message about the experience.
“Want to know what loneliness feels like? It’s falling on stage in the pouring rain and not one person after the show bothering to ask if you are ok.”
The post quickly drew concern from fans, with many asking if the singer was alright.
Manson did not elaborate on the incident, but the message appears to reference Garbage’s appearance at Isle of Light Festival in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic on Saturday night.
The outdoor event takes place at Faro de Punta Torrecilla and is one of the country’s largest music festivals, bringing together international and Latin American artists each year.
Posts from attendees suggested the festival was hit by heavy rain throughout the night.
It remains unclear exactly when the fall happened during Garbage’s appearance, but Manson’s post suggests it occurred while the band were performing.
The show appears to mark Garbage’s first live performance of 2026 and their first concert since their Australian run late last year.
That tour included appearances at Good Things Festival in Melbourne, where Manson briefly stopped a performance after spotting a fan holding a beach ball above the crowd.
The moment quickly went viral online and sparked days of debate among fans, including an exclusive interview with the man involved that was later published by Blunt.
Manson later addressed the situation on social media, keeping the fallout going after the festival run had wrapped.
There has been no indication that Manson suffered any serious injury during the incident.
At the time of writing, no footage of the fall has surfaced online and the singer has not shared further details about what happened.
Fans have continued responding to the post with messages of support following the show.
