BILLY CORGAN Storms Off Stage After Audience Yells For SMASHING PUMPKINS Songs

July 27, 2005

Australia's Undercover News is reporting that former SMASHING PUMPKINS frontman Billy Corgan threw a fit during his performance in Melbourne and stormed off stage after the audience yelled for SMASHING PUMPKINS songs.

One fan who who was at the show told Undecover News that at one stage when an audience member yelled "play some PUMPKINS," Corgan snapped back "Can I live my life for today?"

At another time, someone yelled, "We want rock", and Corgan told him to ask for his money back, the fan said.

Towards the end of the show, after another call for more "PUMPKINS," Corgan is said to have said "Fuck this," put his mic down and walked off.

Corgan plays Sydney Wednesday night (July 27) and finishes his Australian tour Friday night in Brisbane.
