Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan 'Can't Remember' On Stage Collapse

July 23, 2010
Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan 'Can't Remember' On Stage CollapseSmashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has said he can’t remember collapsing on stage at a gig in Florida.

The singer is reported to have appeared dizzy, before falling into a drum riser as he performed at Ritz Ybor in Tampa on Wednesday (July 21).

In a post on Twitter, Corgan wrote: “For those that saw me fall last night during ‘Bullet’, that wasn't a stage move or clumsiness, that was me blacking out and wiping out.

“I have no memory of falling against the drum riser and my guitar cabinet, but I can tell you I've got quite a good bruise and am moving slow.”

Despite his fall, Corgan described the gig as “a tremendous show”, adding: “We can't tell you enough how much we appreciate you today.”

As previously reported, Smashing Pumpkins are set to play a benefit concert for Madina Lake’s Matthew Leone in Chicago next week.
