# The Cure is dead. Say hello to Nu-Cure:
We are pleased to announce that Steve Sevrin long time Banshee will be parting ways with us to join old time drinking buddy Robert Smith onkeyboards with international nu-metal supergroup THE CURE.Do not fear we will be keeping Steve's place on bass ( we're poets and dont know it ) warm for when the fat boy finally sobers up and sends himhome again.Don't let him steal YOUR makeup and hair Steve. Steve will be joining the "Anti-Goth Dinosaur" in time for a European festival tour with other "Cure new boy" Keith Airey (ex Simple Minds,Gary Numan, Then Jericho and Nik Kershaw guitarist). Sioux + Budgie
Un-fucking-believable.

The fact that Siouxsie had said post-7 Year Itch that they would never work with Severin again and couldn't stand him did make the unsourced quote more than a bit suspicious...

On Robert Smith
"WHY'S HE ON THE COVER?" demands Siouxsie Sioux. "Fat fool!""He" is Robert Smith and "the cover" is that of Uncut's sister publication NME Originals, their recent edition dedicated to goth.
On Steven Severin:
"I don't hate him," she says of their relationship, "I've just given up trying to work with him"
― Bob Six (bobbysix), Monday, 23 May 2005 06:15 (twenty-one years ago)
Conversely, I guess the chances of Robert Smith replacing Severin on a future Banshees reunion are slim then. *drum roll*

I JUST GOT AN EMAIL FROM A FRIEND ASKING ME TO PUT THE (SURPRISINGLY!) STILL ONGOING 'RUMOURS DEBATE' TO BED - I SUSPECT THIS IS NOT IN MY GIFT! - BUT A FEW FINAL WORDS FROM ME ANYWAY...
(AS FOR "a serious problem"... UMMM... NOT SURE WHICH PART OF SERIOUS OR PROBLEM I DON'T GET... AS I REALLY DON'T CARE - IS THAT UNAMBIGUOUS ENOUGH?!!)
SO - ONE LAST TIME: THIS WEBSITE IS THE 'OFFICIAL' WEBSITE - THERE IS NO POINT IN POSTING HOURLY NEWS OF DISCUSSIONS WE MAY OR MAY NOT BE HAVING WITH REGARDS LIVE SHOWS/STUDIO WORK/PROPOSED TRIPS TO THE SEASIDE ETC ETC ETC AS 99% OF THEM NEVER HAPPEN... HOW COULD IT BE HELPFUL?
I HONESTLY DON'T CARE ABOUT RUMOURS ON THE WEB - WITHOUT THEM IT WOULD SURELY COME UNDONE! - AND I ENJOY READING NEWS OF CURE ACTIVITY IN THE WIDER WORLD AS POSTED BY FANS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES - IT IS OFTEN THE WAY THE BAND FINDS OUT ABOUT STUFF LIKE TRIBUTES/BOOTLEGS/ROGUE ADS ETC...
MY POINT IS MERELY: HERE IS NEWS
(AND AS A PARTING WHISPER: WE ARE NOT PLAYING COLMAR AND DAVE ALLEN IS NOT DOING THE NEW CURE ALBUM... BUT... *)
SPENDING MY LIFE DENYING RUMOURS THAT I KNOW TO BE JUST THAT: RUMOURS? UMMM... NO THANKYOU
I AM OFF NOW TO GET ON WITH REAL THINGS...AND NEWS OF THEM WILL BE POSTED HERE WHEN THEY HAPPEN!
LOVERS
PS*LIFTING UP THE CORNER OF MY SKIRT TO REVEAL A LIGHTER SIDE... THOSE DREAMS OF HYDE PARK IN JULY ARE NOT CONFIRMED... YET! HA!

Dan is right, BTW, in that it's very much a clear break, but at the same time I think it's entirely possible that another five-man lineup could emerge. We'll see.
I have to say that the real surprise in all this is the separation of the Bamontes, given that they've been involved (individually or together) with the Cure to one extent for another for something like a quarter-century? All the more intriguingly, of course, is the fact that there's been no statement from them yet.

this is news to me; I thought Roger didn't show up until Disintegration?

Dear Chris,
Could you tell all the people who contact you that I''m really overwhelmed by the amount of fans who have written to me, and you and to all the Cure websites - I never knew I had that much of an impact or how important a part of The Cure I was for so many people. Please pass on my thanks to everyone for their support and compliments and their best wishes for my future. I wish the band well and bear no grudge. I have no definite plans at this time but will imform you all if I become involed in any other projects. Once again -Thank You!
Perry x

What's happening to Robert ?5/31/2005 5:01:17 PM - by CURE:ROBERTWHAT'S HAPPENING IS A DIM REALIZATION THAT POSTING HERE INSTEAD OF STICKING TO THE NEWS IS A MISTAKE! IT SEEMS THAT SOME PEOPLE ONLY SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE AND HEAR WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR... IN MY PREVIOUS POSTS I HAVE BEEN VERY CAREFUL TO PUSH ONE SIMPLE POINT - THIS WEBSITE DOESN'T POST ANYTHING THAT ISN'T 100% CONFIRMED - IT POSTS FACTS NOT RUMOURS...
WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?!! IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FANSITES... PLEASE!
(HOW CAN "AND I ENJOY READING NEWS OF CURE ACTIVITY IN THE WIDER WORLD AS POSTED BY FANS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES - IT IS OFTEN THE WAY THE BAND FINDS OUT ABOUT STUFF LIKE TRIBUTES/BOOTLEGS/ROGUE ADS ETC... " BE DISSING FANS... HUH?!!)
THIS WEBSITE CONFIRMS (AS FAR AS I KNOW!) WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE CURE - SIMPLE
I FIND IT SERIOUSLY UNREAL THAT SUCH A DRY FACT CAN GENERATE SUCH HYPERBOLE - ON WHICH NOTE I ABSOLUTELY STOP WRITING ABOUT IT...
FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE ETC ETC
ONWARDS?LOVERS
