Question
Hey I know this is a tough question, but I was wondering if you could tell me Billy Corgans email address or postal address? I have searched the web for hours and been unable to find anything. So if you could please have a search around that would be great, thanks!

Another thing off the subject a bit... I was wondering if you could tell me about Billys relationship with Courtney Love. How long did it last? And why did it end? And out of curiosity, is it true that only 3 weeks after Kurts "suicide" Courtney was sleeping with Corgan?

And was Billy ever into drugs?If so what ones? Ive heard that he was anti-drug and didnt evven drink. If this is the case, is there a reason why? Ive asked this to another expert and they werent too sure.

Last thing I promise!! Is there any plans of a SP reunion tour? And is Billy touring solo-ly or with Zwan internationally?

Sorry bout the long line up of questions any help would b great though!

Answer
Hey there! Sorry I couldn't get back to you earlier.....the holidays and all. It's hectic. Getting on to the questions, his email address WAS on his official site, but it was removed because of overwhelming flooding and such. Proves that old BC has still got it, I guess!

On the strange subject of the relationship between Corgan and Love....Billy has never been terribly public about the whole thing, but the actual fact of the matter is that Courtney and Billy dated BEFORE Kurt and her met, and before the Pumpkins became popular, strangely enough. Nothing else is really known about it.

Billy has said that he dropped acid in the pre-gish and gish eras, and there is a particularly crazy interview from 1996 in which he talks of eating "special" brownies while they're in town. You can see it here: http://www.starla.org/articles/kerint.htm

Billy IS currently drug and alcohol free. He's never really talked about the reason why, just that he is. I would guess it has something to do with spirituality.

I am constantly surprised by the amount of people who don't know that Zwan broke up! They split in September of 2003 because of internal problems, the majority of which being between Billy and David Pajo, who wanted to focus more on his (excellent, i might add) solo project, Papa M (http://papa-m.com), and took Paz on tour with him. Both have said words about eachother on their respective websites, and it's all a big mess. Billy just went on a big US book tour promoting Blinking With Fists, and had a few solo acoustic shows on the way. He's putting the final touches on his "futuristic rock record" and planning to release it, a DVD of his April 12th 2004 solo Metro show, and a DVD of the Pumpkins' final show at the Metro all at once, sometime in the coming year.

Good luck!
Braeden
