Another Cure photo book coming soon
"We are delighted to announce 'The Cure – Standing Still' for publication in 2017.
For the last 18 months we have been working closely with celebrated music photographer Paul Cox, sorting through and carefully scanning his incredible photographic archive. From 1981 to 2009, Paul worked with Robert Smith and the band on a diverse range of shoots including privately assigned projects, sessions for press use, and promotional sessions for new releases. Paul attended and covered video shoots and a great many private projects, the results of which show him to be an almost official photographer to The Cure. The vast majority of these images have never been published – so this sanctioned and approved limited edition photographic biography, containing over 250 photos from 35 photo sessions will be a unique and important record of such an iconic and timeless band.
We will announce further details for 'The Cure – Standing Still' early in 2017. Please join our Facebook community to keep up to date with news."
Thanks, Colm.
The Twilight Sad's photo diary from the tour
“I asked The Twilight Sad to join us on The Cure Tour 2016 because they are the best band playing the best songs – consistently brilliant, emotional, intense, inspiring, entertaining,” said frontman Robert Smith – who also covered their track ‘There’s A Girl In The Corner’. “They have added immeasurably to this year’s live experience – for fans, crew and Cure band alike… and it turns out they are the best people too! I can’t thank them enough.”

Thank you so much to
This dream always ends, this feeling always goes
The time always comes to slip away
This world always stops, this wonder always leaves
The time always comes to say goodbye
Final night of this wonderful, fantastic, amazing tour. One final (for now) celebration of the band we love. If you're lucky enough to be going tonight, please enjoy the hell out of it. Don't worry about what they play, don't worry or be bothered by the crowd around you, just forget every trouble & worry and get lost in the music, in the lights, in THAT feeling, and enjoy every single second of the show!
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." And you were lucky enough to experience it! What a year! What a tour! What a band!
