Billy Corgan Collapses During Smashing Pumpkins Concert

Smashing Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan blacks out while performing in Florida.

Corgan tweeted after their Tampa, Florida show: “That wasn’t a stage move or clumsiness— that was me blacking out.”

What’s weird is that when the Smashing Pumpkins performed a concert on Wednesday night (July 21), Corgan collapsed while singing “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” and no one noticed that he did. It was only when he announced it at Twitter did people began reporting about him collapsing.

Billy Corgan wrote: “Thanks a million to the fans in Tampa last night for a tremendous show! We can’t tell you how much we appreciate you today. And for those that saw me fall last night during ‘Bullet,’ that wasn’t a stage move or clumsiness — that was me blacking out and wiping out. I have no memory of falling against the drum riser and my guitar cabinet. But I can tell you I’ve got quite a good bruise and am moving slow.”

Corgan was such a professional that he was back on his feet within seconds.
