Rumor: Cure gone from Geffen/Interscope?

There's a rumor going around that The Cure have parted ways with Geffen/Interscope records. This has come mainly from various employees of Universal Music, in different parts of the world. But there has been no official confirmation of this from the band, and no official word from the labels. I first got word of this on May 15th, and have tried to get some confirmation since then, but have had no luck. Just more rumors and speculation. So I have no idea if this is true, where they would go if it is, what this means for the Dark Album, if the band asked for a release, or if Geffen let them go. Either way, good luck to The Cure, as they continue to deal with more record company nonsense.
