Billy Corgan Not Suing Former Pumpkin?

The lawsuit between Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan and original Pumpkin drummer Ron Roesing apparently isn't proceeding any further than legal threats.

ChartAttack exclusively reported on Tuesday, June 27 that Corgan was suing the former drummer for supposed copyright violations, after sifting through volumes of legal documents and interviews. Roesing emailed us today to say that he hasn't heard from Corgan's team of lawyers and assumes that the lawsuit has been dismissed or dropped. Although he still hasn't heard from Corgan something he'd like to do is to clear the air.

Fans can now expect to hear Billy, Roesing and Dale Meiners early songs on an album under the band name The Marked. It's doubtful Corgan will have any input on this album. This band was formed in 1984 and was based out of Florida. They returned to Chicago and Meiners quit the band, while Roesing and Corgan brought in James Iha and formed the Smashing Pumpkins.
