Billy Corgan Says Podcast Appearance With Purported Half-Brother Bill Burr Not a Bit: ‘[We] Really Didn’t Know Where It Was Going’
Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan says his pod chat with alleged half-brother comedian Bill Burr was not a 'bit,' but there's still no DNA proof.
After the two men were then surprised by Mandel when he had them unexpectedly meet for the first time in person on his pod earlier this year, Corgan, 57, told People magazine that the meet-weird was not a bit, but actually the real thing. Burr was audibly and visibly upset by the unannounced family reunion, lambasting his longtime friend Mandel, and almost walking out of the interview in protest. Mandel did eventually leave the room and the two men traded stories about the man they both described as their dad, though Burr initially was not able to let go of his anger about the surprise.
