Earlier this year, Billy Corgan quit Twitter and started a website dedicated to people and their cars.

Corgan has also launched an “artisanal tasting box” of vegan and paleo food through subscription service Farm to People. The limited-edition gift basket, which will be priced at $129.95 (£85), contains items such as sprouted hazelnut butter, bourbon smoked sea salt and chunky coconut raw chocolate bars.

He was also forced to respond to an image of him looking miserable while visiting Disneyland after it went viral. The photograph showed Corgan sat inside a cart on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad looking upset and uneasy.
