CORGAN’S GUITAR BREAKS ON STAGE
SMASHING PUMPKINS frontman BILLY CORGAN suffered an embarrassing technica l problem onstage in New York on Monday night (26Jul10) - his guitar brok e just two songs into the band’s set.
The group played at the city’s Terminal 5 venue as part of Spin magazin e’s 25th anniversary celebrations.
But the performance came to an abrupt halt during a rendition of Ava Ad ore when Corgan’s instrument malfunctioned.
The rocker wandered off stage in search of help, but when no one came t o his assistance he put down his guitar and led the audience by clapping along to the tune.
A guitar technician soon ran onto the stage to fix the instrument and t he show was able to proceed, according to the New York Daily News.
The day after the show (27Jul10), the band played a benefit concert to raise money for Madina Lake rocker Matthew Leone’s medical care. The musi cian was attacked and knocked unconscious after he attempted to break up a violent domestic dispute between two strangers at the beginning of the month (Jul10).
