- Very sad news today. Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode has passed. I knew Andy and considered him a friend. We crossed many of the same pathways as younger men . My heart goes out to his family, bandmates, and DM fans. RIP Fletch.
- It's with a heavy heart, I have to report the passing of a Cure brother. Andy Anderson was A true gentleman and a great musician with a wicked sense of humor which he kept until the end, a testament to his beautiful spirit on the last journey. We are blessed to have known him.
- Forty one years ago today, Three Imaginary boys was released. For three young men, barely out of our teens, this was the ship that we launched our lives on. It’s taken me many places since then. I feel extremely grateful and blessed, to have known some of you along the way.lolx
- Today is 40 years since Faith was released . Thank you to all of you who kept the faith for 4 decades. It means everything to me. I can promise you that the next couple of years your faith will be rewarded...
- Forty three year ago the release of Three Imaginary Boys had both our hopes and the genesis of what was to come in it . For the journey I've been on since then, I’m truly grateful.
- I'm searching through boxes of ephemera that Ive collected for the last 44 odd years for my new book.Its coming out later this year. I've found some real relics ! My tour pass from the Join Hands tour with Siouxsie and the Banshees...
- theconversation.com/how-the-cure-w… Congratulations Chaps # 1 UK & USA!! Even though I'm not there physically it fills me with joy emotionally . In the end the best team won and thats enough for me!
- RIP Sinéad O’Connor, I only met her once. In a rehearsal studio in London. Quiet and beautiful. I hope she found peace at last.
- Thirty eight years ago today we released the third album of a trilogy, Pornography. For me, it was the pinnacle of the three piece version of the Cure. It changed me, and it definitely changed my life forever. Thank you for your belief all these years.
- RIP Neil Peart. All drummers are brothers.
- On this day in 1981 The Cure released our third album Faith . It was an especially poignant and challenging time for me as you’ll read in my upcoming book “Goth-A History”.
- 37 years ago today Pornography was released . it’s my favorite album of The Cure. A little while ago I had a custom drum kit built, a beautiful creation of black and purple .The maker asked me what I wanted it to be like . I asked him to make it sound like Pornography . He did !
- Thirty-nine years ago today Seventeen Seconds was released. The first in a trilogy of albums that for me marked the genesis of the real Cure oeuvre. I am forever grateful to the universe for illuminating the way back then and still, it continues...
