More from Stephen Pavlovic about The Cure

From SX: "The crown jewel of Pav’s program is unquestionably English legends The Cure, who will play their first three albums live, in their entirety, in a concert titled Reflections on May 31 and June 1. Reflections is exclusive to Vivid Live. “I was already dealing with [The Cure frontman] Robert Smith about doing a vocal on a track with one of my other artists, so when the Vivid thing came to me I used the conversations I was already having with him to go ‘hey I’m also doing this project at the Opera House, would you consider playing at it?’!

“I’m very excited. That band means a lot to me – they were a major part of my formative years. And Robert’s awesome. He’s very particular and direct and approachable. He manages himself and any Cure-related projects, so it was amazing that I could just email him directly! Every email from him comes as ‘Aloha!’ – ‘Aloha Pav! I’m like, wow, ‘Aloha Robert!’” (Thanks Heron)
