The frontman took to Instagram to update fans about what he's been working on, which includes lyrics and finding the “robust tones buried beneath my oft-quoted nasal whine.”
He then goes on to thank fans for their fidelity and support, saying he “could go on about what’s false or misrepresented,” but he says that “the truth will win out in the end and is best represented by proof that can be seen and felt (like new music, videos, action, and of course shows).”
Corgan also explains that discussions are in the works for international shows, in case you were wondering. See his latest Instagram update below.
Earlier this month, Corgan said the band were in the final stages of two new EPs. As previously reported, Corgan is also working on a solo album that's “currently between 16 and 18 songs.”
Smashing Pumpkins will be headed out on their “Shiny And Oh So Bright” tour this summer, which just so happens to be their first tour in nearly 20 years.
