While performing on a show on Florida last Thursday evening, Smashing Pumpkins vocalist and front man Billy Corgan collapsed while performing the bands hit song, “Bullet with Butterfly Wings.” He says that he has no memory of falling down and woke up with a bruise and he was moving slow. That has got to hurt.
Smashing Pumpkins is the premiere alternative rock band on the 90’s era. While everybody was trying to be Grunge and stuff, they were alternative and weird. But personally, I dig their music. Who doesn’t? Especially the 2 – CD epic Mellon Collie album? That one won a Grammy, if I’m not mistaken.
Funny how lots of musicians have collapsed on stage lately and thanks to YouTube, people all over the world is able to view it. Whether to laugh it or not, it’s up to them. What I’m wondering is what’s causing these things to happen? A curse? A device that was fired from the crowd which can invisibly cause you to collapse? Diet? Heart problems? There is lot of factors to consider so for you aspiring bands, here’s a tip:
- Before going on stage to perform, eat properly.
- Drink lots of water before and while performing and after performing.
- Don’t do drugs.
