The Cure are Dead (Live in Ancienne Belgique, Brussels 11/06/1982)
The Pornography tour ends in confusion on June 11, 1982 at Brussels in Belgium. In this tour the public witnessing a chaotic reminder: The last song of this show, 'The Cure are Dead', was an improvisation with Robert Smith on drums, Lol Tolhurst on bass, Simon Gallup on guitar and Gary Biddles, a Simon's friend, on vocal, whos criticizing Smith and Tolhurst. Following the concert, Simon Gallup left the group. Robert Smith does not talk before eighteen months.
Robert Smith: "Before the concert, Lol and I sat in the dressing room, miserable because we knew it was the end. The show was quite flat and, during the encore, Biddles came on and started singing 'Smith's a wanker, Tolhurst's a wanker, only Simon's worth anything in this band'. I was drumming, so I stopped, threw the drumsticks at the back of his head and told him to fuck off. Everyone looked at each other... and that was it."
