Billy Corgan battled through food poisoning to perform

Billy Corgan, the Smashing Pumpkins frontman, battled through a bout of food poisoning to perform for fans in Spain.
 
The rocker fell ill after a meal, but he refused to cancel the concert in Madrid yesterday and turned to local medics to help him pull through.
 
Writing on his Twitter before the gig, Corgan wrote: "Spent the whole day puking (vomiting) from food poisoning. But the docs here in Madrid got me up and runnin (sic). Gonna be a fascinating show..."
 
Corgan will have to continue playing sick - the band is due to head to Lisbon, Portugal for two shows on Thursday and Friday.
