"It is with enormous sadness that we confirm the death of our great friend and bandmate Perry Bamonte who passed away after a short illness at home over Christmas. Quiet, intense, intuitive, constant and hugely creative, 'Teddy' was a warm hearted and vital part of The Cure story. 'Looking after the band' from 1984 through 1989, he became a full time member of the Cure in 1990."
"As the post from the band mentions, Bamonte played roughly 500 shows with The Cure during his two stints in the band. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with The Cure as an essential member of the band in 2019. After his first tenure with The Cure, Bamonte joined the supergroup Love Amongst Ruin featuring members of Placebo and Julian Cope's band."
Perry Bamonte died at age 65 after a short illness at home over Christmas. He served 'looking after the band' from 1984 to 1989 and became a full-time member of The Cure in 1990. He played guitar, six-string bass and keyboard on multiple Cure albums and performed more than 400 shows in his first 14 years with the group. He rejoined The Cure in 2022, playing about 90 additional shows through November 2024. He was part of the band's 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction and later joined the supergroup Love Amongst Ruin. Condolences were extended to his family and bandmates.
