Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan collapsed onstage Thursday night (July 22) in Tampa, Fla., falling into his drummer's kit as the band performed its 1995 hard rock hit, "Bullet with Butterfly Wings." Almost immediately after falling, Corgan rose back to his feet and kept on playing. The lead singer and guitarist later commented on the incident on his Twitter page. "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," Corgan wrote. "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."
