Oh yes I do! I still question the original rumours.
Nothing has ever been confirmed by any official statement from "Cure camp", thus the only logic is: he never was out of the band (or maybe for 2 days).

He was out of the band, Robert convinced him otherwise, he is back now - seems the most logical explanation to me if we are going to rely on what he publishes on FB.

Quote from: Matti on October 16, 2021, 06:21:28Good news everyone - seems like everything has been sorted out again.
Then Simon Gallup confirms on Facebook that he is still a The Cure member, and people don't question anything.

That is one heck of a generalisation. A number of us never bought into this shiitake in the first place because social media is not a great place to get accurate information and no formal statement was ever made by the band. Hence all the talking in the world was going to be idle speculation. Which is what I said at the time but you didn't like that either.

:P

They also haven't confirmed anyone else is in the band.  :angel

Does the band still exist at all? Nothing's been confirmed, they have been inactive since 2019. ;)

Those are not enough options. "Other" needs to be specified. "He was persuaded to return"; "He changed his mind after 2 days" are just 2 options missing.

No I don't, but according to some comments on his FB profile picture he has a dog.

No need to troll @SueC :)

All this was started by Simon himself and there has not been any comment of the band whatsoever on his FB posts.

Quote from: Pongo on October 18, 2021, 13:41:22I can't believe you are buying this story that he is back. He called me last evening and asked how I would vote if there had been an election today. I asked if he had returned to the band. He had no idea what I was talking about. Anyway, I thanked him for everything he had done and told him that he had laid down some really fantastic bass lines over the years. He  must have been drunk or something because he said that, "yes, baselines are important in statistics", then he sort of thanked me for my responses and hung up.

Sounds believable simply because it wasn't communicated through social media. Do we have clarity at some point? It starts to get on my nerves. 😕

All due respect, sir, but you started that exchange about what's not confirmed on their website!

Yes, nothing of what Simon has said has been confirmed by The Cure official sources. Neither his leaving, nor his re-joining. Don't think I said anything wrong by stating this.

Of course, there was nothing wrong in your sentence (but also not in Sue's reply).

There's no need to confirm a re-joining, if one has never (officially) left. (There were no gigs played anyway, thus no one got to see the band together.)

Won't discuss this further as everyone has made their opinion already - however, we got 200 new followers on Twitter thanks to this mess caused by Simon ;)

Well, I was hoping it was the start of the marketing campaign for the new album. :winking_tongue
