Billy Corgan Reveals Possible Family Connection to Comedian Bill Burr


Billy Corgan, the iconic frontman of The Smashing Pumpkins, has revealed a surprising potential family connection to comedian Bill Burr. During an appearance on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff Podcast, Corgan shared that his stepmother suspects Burr might be his half-brother.

According to Corgan, his father, a traveling musician, had a history of flings while on the road. His stepmother first brought up the possibility about a decade ago during a family gathering, pointing out that Burr bears a striking resemblance to Corgan’s father.

While the claim is intriguing, Corgan admits there’s no concrete evidence to support it. For now, it remains an amusing family theory that has left fans of both the rock star and the comedian buzzing.
