SMASHING PUMPKINS have recruited RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE drummer Brad Wilk and KILLERS’ bassist Mark Stoermer for their upcoming live dates. They start a short run of dates later this month in Berlin and drop into the UK for a one-off show at London's Koko on December 5.

Mainman Billy Corgan says: “We’re absolutely thrilled and humbled to have Brad and Mark helping us out with these shows. And if our rehearsals are any indication, they should be one-of-a-kind.”

SMASHING PUMPKINS launch Monuments For An Elegy on December 9. Corgan is joined on the record by Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and guitarist Jeff Schroeder – but the Pumpkins mainman reveals he doesn’t see himself working with a set lineup in the future as he prefers to be his own man in the studio.

The Pumpkins’ next release will be Day For Night – but Corgan previously said sessions weren’t going well. And he says he’s still struggling with pulling everything together and has no idea when it will be released.
