Title: Porl Thompson won't longer play in The Cure
Post by: dsanchez on May 02, 2012, 17:40:21
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....

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

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.
