Smashing Pumpkins' two new members have allegedly been unveiled.
As previously reported, original guitarist James Iha has said he would not be joining the band for their comeback, while original bassist D'arcy Wretzky has not commented publicly on whether she would be participating in the reunion.
Only frontman Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlain remain from the original band.
Although the group's publicist Mitch Schneider said management have not yet confirmed the lineup to him, the Chicago Tribune has reported that the group's new bassist is Ginger Reyes (formerly of the Halo Friendlies). Iha's replacement will be Jeff Schroeder guitarist from Californian band Lassie Foundation, reports MTV News.
However, neither Schroeder nor Reyes have confirmed their involvement officially.
The Pumpkins are set to release their comeback album Zeitgeist on July 10. They will play their first gig of the year in Paris on May 22.
