Talking of Smashing Pumpkin reunions, Billy Corgan, who has been trying to get his band back together for quite a while, has hinted on his website that his plans for reforming are coming along nicely, thus lending the above story greater credence. Corgan writes: "The surprise I have in store for you all will be announced soon enough. Hold on to your horses. After all, good things surely comes to those who wait....Don't you just love the suspense?"
As previously reported, Corgan took an ad out in the Chicago tribune saying that he wanted his old band to reunite: "When I played the final Smashing Pumpkins show on the night of December 2, 2000, I walked off the stage believing that I was forever leaving a piece of my life behind. I naively tried to start a new band, but found that my heart wasn't in it. I moved away to pursue a love that I once had but got lost. So I moved back home to heal what was broken in me, and to my surprise I found what I was looking or. I found that my heart is in Chicago, and that my heart is in the Smashing Pumpkins. For a year now I have walked around with a secret, a secret I chose to keep. But now I want you to be among the first to know that I have made plans to renew and revive the Smashing Pumpkins. I want my band back, and my songs, and my dreams. In this desire I feel I have come home again."
