Billy Corgan thinks Bill Burr might be his half-brother.The Smashing Pumpkins frontman revealed his theory on an episode of Howie Mandel’s Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast released today (November 26), after Mandel accidentally used an image of Burr instead of Corgan on the studio’s screen.The mistake prompted Corgan to tell an anecdote about his potential relationship with the Mandalorian actor, which, he revealed, he had never told before. “Most of my friends don’t even know this story,” he said.“About 10 years ago, one of my brothers was having a birthday party, and my stepmother was there, who was obviously married to my father,” he continued. “And my stepmother said to me, “Do you know who Bill Burr is?” Now at that point, I had never heard of Bill Burr; I didn’t know who he was.

I didn’t know he was a comedian or anything. He could have been the guy down the street.“And she said, “Well, he’s this comedian.” And I think I even somehow called up a picture on the phone, and I kind of noticed right away, “Gee, he kind of looks like my father.” Bill Burr looks more like my father than Bill Burr looks like me or I look like Bill Burr.

So I said to my mother, “Why are you asking me this?”He went on to say: “She goes, “I think it might be one of your father’s illegitimate children.

Bill Burr might be one of the children that your father sired in his days being a travelling musician.” This is a true story, I’m not making this up.
