About That Smashing Pumpkins Reunion…
Fans pumped about a Smashing Pumpkins reunion better brace themselves for it to be sans D’Arcy Wretzky.
In a statement to Blast Echo, the bassist said, “My apologies to all of the Smashing Pumpkins fans out there who are excited about this oncoming reunion tour of the original members of the band. I know this is a huge disappointment for me, as well, but it’s not going to happen [with me]. I only just found about yesterday that the band has decided to go with a different bass player.”
