CHICAGO (Reuters) - Singer Billy Corgan said on Tuesday he plans to revive The Smashing Pumpkins, his Grammy-winning band which broke up in 2000 after more than a decade of blending alternative rock with the avant-garde.
In full-page advertisements in Chicago newspapers, the bald-headed Corgan said, "I want my band back, and my songs, and my dreams."
| Not a big fan or anything but thought some might find it interesting, especially Matt Till.

God I hope not. I personally can't stand to hear Corgan's voice, that nasally whining shrill moaning or whatever he does.
