So sad to hear about Perry Bamonte leaving us. He was a lovely, kind soul who always made everyone feel welcome. Pictured here after The Cure show in Glasgow a few years back with Andy from The Twilight Sad. Rest easy Perry X
From Wayne Hussey:
I am saddened beyond words to hear of the passing of Perry Bamonte. Perry was one of the sweetest, kindest, gentlest people I have met in this business of music. He will be missed terribly.
From Cindy Tolhurst:
RIP Perry Bamonte. I will always remember your huge smile and infectious joy! Heartfelt condolences to his family. ❤️💔❤️

My ★★★★ review of Nick Wickham’s “The Cure: The Show of a Lost World” (2025): opus.ing/diet/505128
'Shopping for Girls' is a Bowie/Gabrels song we wrote for Tin Machine. The recording here -- by David Bowie, Gail Ann Dorsey, and me (Reeves Gabrels) -- dates from 1997.
