The Cure have officially announced that Simon Gallup He leaves the group for a season. The reason is an illness from which he must recover.
“He is not well enough to play” is what the group has communicated regarding the state of health of Simon Gallup, without a doubt one of the most emblematic bassists in the history of pop and a reference that continues to be an influence today for different generations.
The Cure are currently touring and Simon Gallup’s position will be temporarily occupied by his son, Eden, who has been in the band for some time now, taking care of guitars and keyboards as support – as we saw, for example, in his concert at the last edition of the Primavera Sound festival.
In any case, it has also been reported that it will be a temporary replacement and that Simon will return to training as soon as his recovery allows. The exact details of his state of health have not been released, but the fact that there is talk that he will return to the group soon makes us optimistic about the near future.
