Question
Hey there,

I was wondering if a biography of billy corgan had been released, and if so the title of it. Also is there any chance of the SP coming back together and touring?

Any answers would be great thanks!

Answer
Several Smashing Pumpkins biographies have been released over the years, the latest and most comprehensive of which being "Tales Of A Scorched Earth", by Amy Hanson, which can be found and purchased here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1900924684/qid=1102981975/sr=8-1/r...

To date, however, no book chronicling Billy Corgan's personal life and times has been released. Of course there are many sites that contain interviews in which Billy spills about his early years and more behind the scenes aspects of his life.

About a reunion, Billy has hinted recently that he would love to do it someday, whenever the chance arose, nullifying what he said when the Pumpkins broke up, which is that it was just sad for people to get together after the time has passed. James however, might be a little hesitant to do such a thing because of the words Billy has said about him recently on his personal blog (http://billycorgan.com)....Jimmy would certainly do it if Billy opted in....and as for bass, Melissa I would guess might do it because her and James are very close, but D'arcy would undoubtedly give a big "no way".

By the way, she's going to have a role in an upcoming film, in case you're interested! http://imdb.com/title/tt0423116/

Good luck,
Braeden
