As they celebrate their induction to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, legendary UK outfit The Cure have announced a run of 2019 live dates and confirmed their plans to release a new album.
“We’re going in about six weeks time to finish up what will be our first album in more than a decade. It’s very exciting times for us all around,” frontman Robert Smith said in an interview with SiriusXM.
“It’s very exciting times for us all around”: Robert Smith has confirmed that The Cure’s new album is only weeks away from completion.
A new album from the band would be their first since 2008’s 4:13 Dream. Smith says the motivation for the new record came from seeing new artists at his personally curated 2018 Meltdown Festival.
