Billy Corgan posted a note from his wife Chloe on Wednesday (Oct. 30) about an incident at the Smashing Pumpkins singer’s suburban Chicago tea shop in which a car crashed through the front window. “Important notice about Madame Zuzu’s! Thank you for your support and understanding,” Corgan wrote on X in a post that included the note from his wife.

“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. “Thankfully, he was able to leap out of the way and was not injured.”

The couple thanked the Highland Park and Deerfield first responders for their help and Chloe noted that the shop will be closed until further notice, with an update coming soon. Madame Zuzu’s, which serves a variety of teas and vegan items, opened in its current location in Sept. 2020.

In August, Corgan and his wife announced that they are expecting their third child, who will join son Augustus, 8 and daughter Philomena, 5. “We are overjoyed to announce that our family is growing!” Mendel Corgan, 31, told People magazine. “It’s an exciting time for us, although unexpected!” Corgan, 57, added, “On Sunday, we shared the news with our children, Augustus Juppiter and Philomena Clementine. While Augustus was overjoyed, Clementine, the younger of the two, asked if the baby was made already and shed a few tears of concern, which was honestly adorable. Now, both kids are beaming, and it makes it so much fun to share the joy of bringing more love into our family. We are truly blessed.”

The Smashing Pumpkins are gearing up to launch the South American run of their The World Is a Vampire tour, which will kick off in Brasilia, Brazil at the Arena BRB on Friday (Nov. 1).
