December 18, 2021 was the first night of the Madame ZuZu's Christmas Show. Proceeds from the event benefited PAWS Chicago.[1] Billy Corgan's set was preceded by a comedian, and harpist Janelle Lake who did a cover of "Today".

The event took place the day after the death of Corgan's father, William Corgan Sr. Some believed Corgan and his family would cancel the event, but as he put it, "the show goes on, that's what my father believed in".[2]
