During the Smashing Pumpkins' concert on Wednesday (July 21) night in Tampa, Florida, Corgan fell back like a Redwood during "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" and it was caught on video, yet he gets up like no big deal. Concert then resumes.
Corgan clarified the moment on Twitter:
# I have no memory of falling against the drum riser and my guitar cabinet, but I can tell you I've got quite a good bruise + am moving slow 5:38 AM Jul 22nd via txt And for those that saw me fall last night during Bullet, that wasn't a stage move or clumsiness, that was me blacking out and wiping out. 5:37 AM Jul 22nd via txt Thanks a million to the fans in Tampa last night for a tremendous show! We can't tell you enough how much we appreciate you today ;) 5:36 AM Jul 22nd via txt
In YouTube footage posted after the show, Corgan leads the boisterous "Bullet" chorus. Then, kersplatt.
Corgan's Twitter feed reveals he is in talks with TNA Wrestling.
