Billy Corgan Shares Story About Possible Family Connection to Comedian Bill Burr

The Smashing Pumpkins frontman revealed his stepmother's theory about Burr being one of his father's illegitimate children during a podcast appearance.

Billy Corgan recounted a story on the 'Howie Mandel Does Stuff' podcast about his stepmother's belief that comedian Bill Burr might be his half-brother.
The theory stems from Corgan's father being a traveling musician and Burr's resemblance to Corgan's father, according to his stepmother.
Corgan revealed that his father once mentioned having a half-brother named Bill, born around the same time as him, though he has no evidence linking Burr to his family.
He clarified that after considering Burr's personal history, he does not believe they are related but finds the resemblance striking.
Corgan humorously admitted he has avoided discussing the theory with Burr, fearing the comedian's sharp humor.
