The Cure keyboardist Roger O’Donnell has promised that what could potentially be the band’s last ever album will be “epic”.
It’s not uncommon among bands to sell tickets for their “last ever tour” only to make a comeback a couple of years later when they get bored of retirement or need some extra cash. The kings of this stunt are The Cure, who have promised time and time again that their latest album will be their last. Now though, it seems they really mean it.
Speaking with SiriusXM, keyboardist Roger O’Donnell confessed their upcoming album likely will be their last and that it will be their “saddest” and “most dramatic” record yet.
“It’s epic, I can say that about it. I mean, playing it and sitting there and listening back to it… everybody’s jaws were dropping. I said to Robert a couple of years ago, ‘We have to make one more record, and it has to be the saddest record that’s ever been made and the most dramatic’. And I think it will be.”
Earlier in the interview, O’Donnell shared that he believes this will be the band’s last record.
“I personally think it will be the last Cure record,” he said.. “I know it’s been said a million times before, but at this stage in our lives…”
