THE CURE WILL NEVER STOP, SAYS FORMER MEMBER ODONNELL

(VIDEO) Robert Smith is famous for threatening to make each project his last, but his former bandmate Roger O’Donnell said that Smith will never turn his back on music…

Former Cure keyboardist Roger O’Donnell says that his former bandmate Robert Smith will never carry out his threats to give up music. O’Donnell and Robert Smith parted ways after the Bloodflowers tour nearly five years ago, and he said that Smith always threatened but never really broke up the band.

Smith fired his old bandmates before recording the band’s self-titled album a few years back with new members. O’Donnell has resurfaced with a solo album titled Truth In Me, and even though the Cure frontman threatened to end his career on several occasions, the keyboardist said he’ll never do it.

“He needs to feel like whatever he’s working on is the last thing he’s ever going to do. You could never ask him what we’re going to do in six months or a year. He didn’t want to know. It was whatever we were doing was the last thing we were ever going to do. He’ll never stop. What’s he gonna do? He loves music. He loves performing. He probably loves performing more than any of us, as much as he protests against it. I don’t think he’ll ever stop, and why should he? What’s he going to do?”

O’Donnell’s album will see a limited release in May with a greater distribution coming later this year, and The Cure is working on a new album. The keyboardist was in the New York area to play his first show with vocalist on his album, Erin Lang.
