Earlier this month, Corgan spoke about touring with his two children for 10 days without Mendel. “As for the two people next to me in this photo, I had them with me on this tour for approximately 10 days with no help other than the tour staff (thank you!) to protect them during those two hours on stage; otherwise they were my ‘problem’ to deal with morning, noon and night,” Corgan wrote in an Instagram post at the time.

In the photo, Corgan posed with two peace signs while his two children stood on the bench he was sitting on and put their arms around him.
