The Smashing Pumpkins have covered another David Bowie song - this time the '70s classic 'Fame'. Check it out below.
The band, debuting their new line-up featuring The Killers bassist Mark Stoermer and Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk, were performing at the Thalia Hall in Chicago when they dropped the Bowie stape in towards the end of the set - giving it a much harder-edged, rockier feel akin to mid-90s Pumpkins. It's awesome.
It isn't the first time Billy Corgan has tackled Bowie - he covered 'Space Oddity' on recent tours and performed with the man himself at his 50th anniversary show at Madison Square Garden back in 1997.
