Smashing Pumpkins postponed (UPDATED)
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Smashing Pumpkins shows tonight and tomorrow at the Fox Theatre have been postponed because drummer Jimmy Chamberlain fell ill with chest discomfort and landed in a hospital, according to a press release at about 7 p.m. tonight. By doctor’s orders, he is to rest for seven days.
Promoter Rival Entertainment said it hopes to have new dates set within the next month. All tickets for Oct. 30 and 31 will be honored at the make-up dates so buyers should hold on to their tickets. If tickets need to get a refund, just go to your original place of purchase.
Halloween Rocks — With Maximum Cuteness
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Ever wanted to dress up as your favorite rock star for Halloween? Have you gone through with it?
Well, Fallon Worley has.
The three-year-old from Birmingham is headed to Atlanta tonight with his parents Crystal and Kevin for the Smashing Pumpkins show at the Fox (the band plays tomorrow night, too).
Dad Kevin Worley is originally from Douglasville. “He lived there all his life until he met me,” says Crystal Worley.
“People think we’re crazy, that we’re pushing him,” Fallon’s mom says, but the kid is apparently a big fan. “He doesn’t watch kids shows, he watches concerts. He just plays guitar in front of our TV. And when we asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween, he said ‘Smashing Pumpkins!’.”
The costume, based on one of Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan’s stage outfits from the current tour, was made by Fallon’s grandmother from a pattern his mom cut out of newspaper. That adorable photo of Fallon in costume above was taken by Paper Doll Photography.
Anyone else dressing up as a famous musician this year? Or are you going to the Pumpkins show in costume?
