20 Bitter Band Breakups: Smashing Pumpkins
- Posted by Spinner
Frontman Billy Corgan (left) announced the band's 2000 breakup on the radio. They signed off with a 4-hour concert in their Chicago hometown, without original bassist D'arcy Wretzky, who left in 1999. Corgan's bitterness reared its head after the disappointing debut of his new band Zwan. On his blog, Corgan called Wretzky a "mean-spirited drug addict" and blamed guitarist James Iha for the breakup. The current "reunion" features only one other original member -- drummer Jimmy Chamberlin -- whom Corgan once fired in 1996.

How could you forget one of the great pioneering duos - the Everly Brothers, whose bitter breakup took place in front of a audience in California!

Billy Corgan's music was so great!I hope he turns it around. Until then I am listening to ASHES diVIDE's new music. The album " Keep Telling Myself It's Alright" will be released this Tuesday, April 8th.

Blondie , she still rocks and looks fantastic at 62.. there is no such thing as old age anymore for the 50 s and 60 s anymore.. ask Cher and Goldie and Suzanne Summers! We are a different genre
anyway Debra H keep rockin.. Im rockin with ya!

Madamn Debbie sang at KC. Sandstone/Verizon. Amp.and she was totally great! However, where was the band? I respect any new or seasoned artist that does the road. So, let the music rock on for the doers and forget the slackers!!

Nice list but how you could hot include The Ramones? One of the most
IMPORTANT bands in rock history, singer Joey Ramone and guitarist Johnny
Ramone did not talk to each other for six years, even though they were stil performing together and riding in the same van to gigs. The band breaking up was obviously no surprise.
