I've been reading Sharon Osbourne's rather explosive (and also expletive-ridden) autobiog and there's a particularly juicy section regarding the former Smashing Pumpkins frontman-come-Order-collaborator.
He was apparently keen to enlist her services as manager and, to begin with, things were most jolly. However he changed into a totally different person and took great delight in being obnoxious to everyone he came into contact with.
Our Shazza goes on to say that the SPs tour was due to start in Germany and the head of his German label had asked to meet him. He said that all of his German record company were "ladies' front bottoms" and he wasn't interested in meeting anyone. He also had it written into the rider that the ten 'ugliest' people in each town they played were to be given tickets to the gigs, it being "art" to do so.
Eventually Mrs Osbourne got the arse and rightly so. She asked the barman in his hotel to give everyone in the bar a drink and charged it to Corgan's room then booked three one-way air tickets for herself, her daughter and the tour manager back to the US and again charged it to Corgan.
I wonder what the Order made of him...
