Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan has claimed that he "almost" killed himself several times. In an interview on Last Call With Carson Daly, the frontman admitted that he had considered committing suicide "about three, four, seven times" but faith in God had stopped him from feeling "like a victim". He said: "I almost killed myself about three, four, seven times. I literally started planning my death and what I would leave behind, and what I was gonna write. Three or four times in my life.

The Smashing Pumpkins have confirmed that they will release their new album 'Oceania' on June 18.
