In a lenghty Instagram post, Billy Corgan cleared confusion regarding his health and kind of confirmed a Smashing Pumpkins reunion album produced by Rick Rubin was in the works.
“I share a window (curated as it is) into my crazy life,” Corgan wrote in the post, which you can read below. “As an example, we are currently in the studio with Rick Rubin. But unless I show you a picture of Rick sitting Buddha-like at a mixing desk, you probably wouldn’t know that.”
Since then, both Corgan and Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin have shared photos of the same drum set, presumably from inside Rubin’s recording studio. Rubin previously worked with Corgan on his 2017 solo album Ogilala and with the Smashing Pumpkins on the 1997 song “Let Me Give the World to You.”
