Corgan: 'I wasn't inspired by Radiohead'

Billy Corgan has reportedly insisted that he wasn't inspired by other artists to release his album free of charge.

The Smashing Pumpkins frontman, who recently announced that he was giving away a 44-song new record called Teargarden By Kaleidyscope, has said that he didn't take note from Radiohead's pay-as-you-choose scheme for their 2007 album In Rainbows.

The 42-year-old musician told Rolling Stone: "I want no limitations on what I can, and will do. I think the size and shape of the traditional album is just morphing into something much more in the moment.

"Four songs at a time will mean I can give my heart over to the music fully without giving away my now happy life."
