Billy Corgan

About

William Patrick Corgan Jr. (born March 17, 1967, Illinois) is an American musician, songwriter, producer, poet, and professional wrestling magnate. He is best known as the lead singer, guitarist, primary songwriter, and sole permanent member of The Smashing Pumpkins. Formed by Corgan and guitarist James Iha in Chicago, Illinois, in 1988, the band gained steam with the addition of bassist D'arcy Wretzky and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. Strong album sales and large-scale tours propelled the band's increasing fame in the 1990s until their break-up in 2000. Corgan started a new band called Zwan, and after their quick demise, he released a solo album TheFutureEmbrace in 2005 and a collection of poetry (Blinking with Fists) before reforming Smashing Pumpkins and also launching a solo career.
