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.
