"Whatever they do on stage, that is how they are in life. They are the most wonderful people I have ever met. They're my own family. I work purely for nothing, because to me, they are everything. I am an orphan myself, I have no family. And then suddenly I'm embraced by this whole family of people. They love me and I love them in return. They are the most beautiful people I could ever imagine to meet in my whole life. When you watch them on stage, that is how they are in real life. They are the Cure. And please, just love them as I love you!"

(Perry Archangelo Bamonte, chitarrista e tastierista, noto per il suo lavoro con la band The Cure; Londra, 3 settembre 1960 – 26 dicembre 2025)
