Jimmy Chamberlin Responds
Yesterday we reported that Smashing Pumpkin Jimmy Chamberlin would be leaving the band, after a brief post made on Smashingpumpkins.com last Friday, which makes The Smashing Pumpkins pretty much a solo project. Today, Jimmy shed a little more light on the situation, with a statement on the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex blog:
I can no longer commit all of my energy into something that I don't fully possess. I won't pretend I'm into something I'm not. I won't do it to myself, you the fan, or my former partner. I can't just, "Cash the check" so to speak. Music is my life. It is sacred.
Jimmy will be continuing on with the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex, but it's still a sad, sad day in Pumpkin Land.
