Stop me if you think that you’ve heard this one before. Billy Corgan‘s suburban Chicago tea shop, Madame Zuzu’s was hit by a car for the second time. Six months after a vehicle smashed through the front window of the Highland Park tea spot and injured Corgan’s mother-in-law, the shop revealed that it had been struck again.
“Earlier today, there was an accident outside of Madame Zuzu’s involving a vehicle that struck the front of the café,” read a statement on Madame Zuzu’s Instagram page on Wednesday (April 30). “Thankfully, no one was injured. Thank you to everyone who checked in and offered support.”
According to WGN, Smashing Pumpkins leader Corgan’s wife, Chloe Mendel Corgan, said the crash was an “honest accident” and no one was hurt, but the building did suffer some “exterior damage.” The outlet posted a picture of the aftermath, which appeared to show some damage to the bricks on the facade of the building.
Corgan also posted a picture of the damage on X on Tuesday (April 29), writing, “thankfully no one was injured. Just more damage to the exterior/interior but the shop is open for the rest of the day.
Back in October, Corgan posted a note from his wife in which she said that a car had jumped the curb and smashed into the front window of the shop that opened in its current location in Sept. 2020. “This afternoon at Madame Zuzu’s, a car (in circumstances which remain under investigation) drove over the curb and into Madame Zuzu’s and sadly injuring one person — my mother, Jenny; who was spending the day and lunching with my son Augustus,” wrote Chloe Mendel Corgan after the first crash. “Thankfully, he was able to leap out of the way and was not injured.”
The Corgans welcoming their third child in March. Daughter June Corgan joins their son Augustus Juppiter, 9 and daughter Philomena Clementine, 6. Corgan will launch his 16-date solo tour with his new band, the Machines of God, on June 7 in Baltimore. The outing will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and the 25th anniversary of the 2000 albums Machina/The Machines of God and Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music.
