Corgan and touring bandmate Sierra Swan delivered a straightforward take on the song last week backstage on Smashing Pumpkins' acoustic-electro tour, In Plainsong.
The Pumpkins kicked off their In Plainsong tour with a career-spanning set that also included a Rolling Stones cover and a portion dedicated to 'Siamese Dream.'
Last year, Billy Corgan called the Smashing Pumpkins' future “murky.” These days, however, it’s looking quite bright – including a tour and a new album.
Like musical notes, the individual elements on the cover of Smashing Pumpkins' 1995 opus are relatively meaningless on their own – but together, they tell a beautiful story.
Although the world might have lost David Bowie, cover songs from the likes of Nirvana, Beck, the White Stripes and Foo Fighters prove his legacy will live forever.
