(MusicRadar) Billy Corgan is defending his decision to keep performing under the name The Smashing Pumpkins in a lengthy post on his website.

Despite the fact that he is now the sole member of the original group, following the departure earlier this year by drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, Corgan says he is "100pct committed to the future of SP. I can tell you that. 100pct!! I've never been happier about being in SP, or a part of SP, than I am now."

Corgan admits that maintaining the Smashing Pumpkins name hasn't been easy, but adds that "the music I am making sounds like The Smashing Pumpkins. It doesn't sound like solo work, I can assure you of that." - more on this story
