Corgan cracks after Pumpkins calls

Rocker Billy Corgan abandoned a solo concert in Melbourne, Australia this week after fans repeatedly asked him to play songs by his former band Smashing Pumpkins.

Despite placing an advert in the Chicago Tribune expressing his intent to reform the Smashing Pumpkins last month, Corgan became increasingly angered by continued calls from the audience.

According to reports in Melbourne newspapers, one fan heckled "play some Pumpkins" to which Corgan replied: "Can I live my life for today?"

The final straw came towards the end of the show when another fan requested Pumpkins material.

Corgan stormed off stage ignoring calls to return.
