William Patrick «Billy» Corgan, Jr. (born March 17, 1967 in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, U.S.A.) is an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter best known for his work in the alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. The Smashing Pumpkins remain one of alternative rock’s biggest acts and are known for their complex, layered style, and Corgan’s distinctive vocals and guitar solos.
Music journalist Jim DeRogatis declared, «Of all the memorable artists and characters that the alternative era produced, [Corgan] was the most traditional rock star, with all of the good and bad traits that implies.»[1] When the band broke up in 2000, Corgan went on to form the short-lived Zwan with former Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. After releasing a solo album and a collection of poetry, Corgan announced that he was reforming The Smashing Pumpkins in 2005.
