Its greed. plain and simple.
And they just released one of the best albums i have heard in years. A true musical genius is RS and i have so much admiration for him. Hopefully they will be back touring in 2025 and myself and my wife will go to as many performances around Europe as we can possibly fit in. And to top it all the Cure will play for longer than anyone with the exception of Springsteen i believe. I have loved the Cure from the age of 13 and that love just keeps growing. Just yesterday i got my heavyweight marble stone vinal of "Songs of a Lost World" and it sounds so good. R.S. your a truly great man.
Respect!
Looking at you right now, My Chem.
word. mcr's prices for this tour is so incredibly greedy, especially compared to The Cure
This is the attitude all bands who have already made more money than they can spend should take. It's a great pity they don't.
