Smashing Pumpkins have released a statement in re-guard to reports that original Smashing Pumpkins’ bassist D’arcy Wretzky was made an offer to rejoin the band but then rescinded by Billy Corgan. Read the statement below:
In reuniting The Smashing Pumpkins, the band’s dedication remains to its fans and its music. To that, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin, and William Corgan haven’t played a show with D’arcy Wretzky for over 18 years. But it’s not for a lack of trying. For despite reports, Ms. Wretzky has repeatedly been invited out to play with the group, participate in demo sessions, or at the very least, meet face-to-face, and in each and every instance she always deferred. We wish her all the best, and look forward to reconnecting with you all very soon.
Smashing Pumpkins website has a countdown clock on it that will expire on Thursday, speculation is that the band will reunite and go on tour.
