LONDON, Dec 27, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The Cure guitarist and keyboard player Perry Bamonte has died aged 65, the legendary British dark rock band announced on Friday. "It is with enormous sadness that we confirm the death of our great friend and bandmate Perry Bamonte," it said. In its statement, The Cure noted he had helped create numerous albums, including "Wish" (1992), "Wild Mood Swings" (1996), "Bloodflowers" (2000), "Acoustic Hits" (2001), and "The Cure" (2004). Led by Smith's plaintive, wailing voice and rich guitar textures, The Cure helped shape Goth rock with albums including 1982's "Pornography", which was full of suicidal imagery. Bamonte was also the bass player in supergroup Love Amongst Ruin, which has released two studio albums.
