Billy Corgan Bids for Courtney Love's 'Violet' Lyrics in Charity Auction

The Smashing Pumpkins frontman enters a raffle to win handwritten lyrics from his ex-girlfriend, with proceeds benefiting a wildlife sanctuary.

Billy Corgan announced his participation in an auction to win Courtney Love's handwritten lyrics for the song 'Violet'.
The auction is a fundraiser for the Ellis Park Wildlife Sanctuary, with raffle tickets available until December 15.
Corgan, who briefly dated Love in the early 1990s, humorously noted the song might be about someone he knows.
Courtney Love clarified that while the song is partly inspired by Corgan, it also draws from other personal experiences and literary influences.
Corgan shared that he contributed a couplet to the song and expressed continued affection for Love and the track.
