CHAMBERLIN QUITS SMASHING PUMPKINS

BILLY CORGAN is the last Pumpkin standing - his SMASHING PUMPKINS bandmate JIMMY CHAMBERLIN has quit the group.

Jimmy Chamberlin and Billy Corgan at Spike TV's "Scream 2008"Awards at the GreekTheater, Los Angeles, California -18.10.08

Corgan and Chamberlin regrouped after the band split in 2000, but pals James Iha and D'arcy Wretzky weren't part of the new line-up.

And now Chamberlin has left the band.

The drummer joined the band Corgan founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1988 and played on all the group's albums except 1988's Adore.

A statement from the group's management reads, "Corgan will continue to write and record as Smashing Pumpkins with plans to head into the studio this spring."
