Top talented Superstar officially announced his retirement

 

Robert Smith, the iconic frontman of The Cure, has revealed plans to retire from music in the near future. In a recent interview, Smith shared that he intends to step away from the spotlight when he turns 70 in 2029, marking the 50th anniversary of The Cure’s debut album “Three Imaginary Boys” ¹ ² ³.

 

This news comes as The Cure prepares to release their highly anticipated new album, “Songs of a Lost World”, on November 1 ¹ ². The album will be their first in 16 years, and fans are eagerly awaiting its arrival.

 

Smith’s decision to retire is motivated by his reflections on mortality and the changing nature of his life and career. “Our songs always had a fear of mortality,” he noted. “I don’t feel my age at all but I’m aware of it and when you get older that fear becomes more real” ¹. He also expressed gratitude for his privileged life and the opportunity to do what he loves.

 

The Cure’s final lap will begin with a world tour, scheduled to start in autumn 2025, after the release of their next album ³. The band will then play regularly through their 50th anniversary in 2028, culminating in a documentary film and potentially their final live performances.

– _Documentary Film_: To be released in 2028

– _Final Live Performances_: potentially in 2028-2029
