Cure press conference today in Paraguay

'
Here's part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4

Here's the audio recording. Thank you, @AaronLaw92.

Robert Smith (after someone gave him a hat): "I've never worn a hat in my life!"  Hmm, then what's this? Thanks, @mlindenuk. Oh look, another one! Thanks, Perfect.Murder. And how on Earth could he possibly not remember this one? Thanks, @glovestudios. This is exactly why Robert hates the internet. :)

Addressing the ugly situation that happened a couple of days ago in Brasil. Roger says it's in the past. Robert confirms he wasn't there. It was Simon, Roger & Jason. Roger said it wasn't an assault. It was an attempt to steal from them. Also said it did not color their opinion or love for Brasil. Robert said it happened on the trip from Rio to Sao Paulo, but he and Reeves were on a bus, separate from the others. Robert says it was a very colorful incident, to which Roger laughingly replied "It's very colorful."

Robert with Lautmusik

Lautmusik posted this photo on their Facebook, and talk about how special it was to open for The Cure. They asked Robert why he picked them to open, and Robert told them he picked a band he wanted to see. Nice! They also say Robert watched their set from the side of the stage.  (Thanks Shadowplay)

And another photo here.

This is a lie

These crazy rumors of Robert Smith being assaulted in Paraguay or Sao Paulo are false. No truth to it at all! And that is 100% confirmed. Maybe stop reporting rumors as fact? Maybe stop publishing the bands flight & hotel info online? Maybe give them a shred of privacy? Too much to ask?

Best bit: me getting translators to tell cameras to 'waggle about' during KA. Effect on big screens filming again and again mental!!!
