New Lol interview in Mojo


Update:
Here's a photo of the article. (Thanks Jean-Francois)

"The latest edition of UK music magazine Mojo (Queen on the cover) has a full page diary-style confessional by Lol Tolhurst. It's VERY candid and he speaks honestly and sincerely about his relationship with Robert and the problems that led to his dismissal from the band.

He says that when the band listened to the finished mix of "Disintegration" he'd been drinking, and said half of it sounded like The Cure and the other half he hated. After more drinks he then told the rest of the band that he hated all of it. Lol explains, what he actually meant was that he hated the fact that he hadn't been more involved in the making of the album.

There are some really touching comments throughout the article, and he even refers to his stupidity in taking the band to court. I stumbled across this purely by chance, as I was waiting for a train, reading the magazines at the station - a nice surprise." (Thanks Graham)

  12. aww, that was a great bedtime read. the part that got me was in the beginning - when robert's mom had Lol watch out for Robert. so sweet. it must be very embarrasing to go through those horrid memories for him, and i wish nothing but good things for him

  14. lovely, lovely Laurence. What a nice man. 8 words in life that are so woefully under-said.... "What I did was wrong, I am sorry."

  15. Great article! It pretty much summerizes some chapters on the Cure's Never Enough biography book. But great article! Whenever I think of Lol, I remember his Billy Idol incident. hehehe

  16. Thanks for the scan of the interview. Good read!

    I really do think LOL is sorry for all the negative stuff that happened. I'm happy to see he's put it to rest & has moved on.

  17. How interesting it'd be to see a picture of them as five year olds getting on to the bus.
