Robert Interview on Nederland 3


A Pinkpop special aired Sunday on Nederland 3. It included 'Friday I'm in Love', 'Close to Me', and this interview (English) with Robert (also on YouTube). (Thanks @3voor12)

In the interview, Robert confirms Reeves is "just filling in". So not an official Cure, just a Summer guest. Which makes these Summer shows even more special. If you want to see Reeves with The Cure, this could be your only chance. Get tickets now!
No, I don't get paid for saying that or hyping up the shows. : P Just saying this probably won't last, so see this lineup while you can.

  2. Starting with Friday I'm In Love.

    I don't expect them to air anything new, but it's nice for those who missed it on TV last night.

    I think I remember Porl saying he was just doing a tour back in 84ish and ended staying until wish, and said, "yeah...long tour, hehe".
    So you never know, with Reeves, and filling in. Whatever the case he's off to an amazing start, I'd really like to see this line up in the states sometime!
    But if its not to be, thank goodness for cof and youtube! :)

  14. I think it is important that I update this now: When I said that Reeves is an official member of The Cure, that means that he is officially playing with them for more than a couple of shows. He is on a full summer tour with them. I apologise for any confusion, and I thank Slicing Up Eyeballs for correcting my statement. Respectfully, J.V.

    1. No problem at all, Jenn. I think a lot of us were just hoping it was more than just the Summer. But we'll take what we can get. : )
