More comings and goings in The Cure camp. Following the news last month that guitarist Perry Bamonte and keyboard player Roger O'Donnell had been dropped, the band have now confirmed that former guitarist Porl Thompson will be back for the summer tour, with the new line up making its debut at this year's Benicassim Festival in Spain on 5 Aug.
A statement on The Cure's official website says: "We are delighted to announce the return of guitarist Porl Thompson for The Cure shows this summer! This will be Porl's third time in the band - he first played from 1976 to 1978, and then again from 1983 to 1993 and it's a real pleasure to have him back once more!"
