It's official: Porl (now "Pearl") Thompson won't longer play in The Cure :(

Quotethank you to everyone for all your thoughts and support...
as for all the comments; good and bad!
keep the freedom flag flying  ; )

for those who do care.....
i apologise if i upset you with this decision
but i will no longer be playing in this inspirational band,  (hence the auction;)

i am working on a lot of new projects..jewellery, music, art and mixed media;
all of which will take time to ferment...

paint still flows and my mind state is better than it has been for long while;

much love ~Pearl

formally porl  RIP   xxx

No big surprise here. I already thought so when he did not perform with the group in 2011. When hearing of the auction, I thought "so he won't return".

"Pearl"?  Is he going through another type of "transformation"?

I wonder what does "keep the freedom flag flying" means?  Freedom from the Cure?  From RS?  Just doing his own thing?  Hmmm....

Trust...

Pearl is a female name so yes, probably. Anyway, who cares, as long as he is happy :)

Well, what about Reeve or Perry? The could play. We'll just have to wait until Reading to see what the "now" lineup is going to be
Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more
'Boys Don't Cry' is my favourite Cure song but it doesn't mean I'm not a hardcore fan. Disintegration is my favourite LP! The Cure are my favourite band!

Robert said in a recent interview that only Reeve can replace Porl.  ;)

Also, I think we already know the "now" line-up, as it has played some festivals already.
