Billy Corgan To Open Tea House

added 30 December 2011 at 14.01

First he announced he was starting his own wrestling organisation... now he is moving in a more genteel direction...

The Smashing Pumpkins singer's wrestling ring is called Resistance Pro but, disappointly, he doesn't actually wrestle. More the face of it. Or something.

But now he's proving himself to be even more of an entrepreneur after revealing plans to open a Chinese-style tea house in the suburbs of Chicago.

Speaking to eater.com he confessed the he believes "[there's a] lack of culture for someone in their 30s or 40s [in the area]. I think for such a nice place you need places to go and meet people and exchange ideas. That's the idea fot the tea house ... a place to gather."

The "old-school" style tea-house is due to open in March/April time.
