Bill Burr & Billy Corgan Weigh In on Half-Brothers Rumors
After some initial hesitation to embrace their meeting, the King of Staten Island star took time to lightheartedly confront his lookalike.
“Listen, you’ve done well for yourself, I’m happy for you,” Burr told Corigan. “I just would prefer if you didn’t go around telling these f–king stories. Why did you feel the need to do that?”
For his part, Corgan shared his own thoughts about the likelihood that the pair are actually half-brothers.
“The fact that he said he can’t sing, I think, disproves that we’re related,” he said, “’cause I’m not funny. So, it goes both ways.”
Although it’s unclear how official their relation is, read on to see other stars that are surprisingly related.
In a recent interview, comedians Bill Burr and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan addressed the rumors circulating about them being half-brothers. The speculation began when fans noticed a striking resemblance between the two and started to question if there was a familial connection.During the interview, both Burr and Corgan laughed off the rumors, with Burr jokingly saying, “I don’t know about you, but I definitely didn’t inherit any of his musical talent.” Corgan added, “Yeah, and I definitely didn’t get his sense of humor either.”
Despite the lighthearted response, the two did acknowledge that the rumors were flattering in a way. “It’s always nice to be compared to someone as talented as Billy,” Burr said. “But unfortunately, we’re just two guys who happen to look alike.”
So, it seems that the mystery of whether Bill Burr and Billy Corgan are actually long-lost half-brothers remains unsolved. But one thing is for sure – they both have a good sense of humor about the whole situation.

A couple months ago, Billy Corgan told Howie Mandel that comedian Bill Burr could very well be his half-brother. With Burr as the latest guest on his podcast, Mandel surprised the funnyman with a visit from the Smashing Pumpkins frontman — leading to a meeting of the two Bills.
On the November episode, Mandel’s production team erroneously put up a photo of Burr during Corgan’s turn on the podcast, leading the alt-rock legend to disclose that he may be related to his celebrity look-alike.
“Most of my friends don’t even know this story,” began Corgan. “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. 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.”
The singer-guitarist continued, “I thought the first thing she was going to say was, ‘Oh, I thought you’d notice the resemblance. 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 traveling musician.’ This is a true story. I’m not making this up; there is no joke in this.”
Fast-forward to the new episode of the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, and 30 minutes into his conversation with Burr, he says, “I got something special that I planned for you,” at which point he brings out Corgan, who walks over and greets Burr, who says, “What’s up,” to Corgan, and, “You’re an asshole,” to Mandel.
Mandel quips, “I thought you would be cool with me bringing the family together.” Burr then went on to chastise Corgan for letting the family secret out of the bag.
Billy Corgan, frontman of the iconic rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, and comedian Bill Burr have both addressed the rumors and speculation surrounding the possibility that they are half-brothers.In a recent interview, Corgan addressed the rumors, stating that while he has heard the speculation, there is no truth to the rumors that he and Burr are related. Corgan emphasized that he has no familial connection to Burr and that they are not, in fact, half-brothers.
Burr, known for his no-nonsense and comedic approach to addressing rumors, also chimed in on the topic, jokingly stating that while he wouldn’t mind having a rockstar brother like Corgan, there is no truth to the rumors of their familial connection.
Despite the rumors circulating online, both Corgan and Burr have made it clear that they are not related and that the speculation is unfounded. So, for now, it seems that the mystery of whether or not they are half-brothers will remain unsolved.
