With the news of Perry Bamonte’s death at 65, we say goodbye to a seminal guitarist and keyboardist who helped shaped the sound of The Cure. As fans recount Bamonte’s amazing work, The Cure co-founder Lol Tolhurst offered something more intimate.
Tolhurst’s understated post on X was short but layered: an acknowledgment of Bamonte’s musicianship, a brief sketch of his journey with the band, and a heartfelt nod to the person behind the instruments.
Tolhurst, who co-founded the band with Robert Smith and then left under complicated circumstances in 1989, wrote , ‘So sad to hear about the passing of Perry Bamonte from The Cure. Perry joined us all as my keyboard tech initially then after working as guitar tech went on to play in the band. A quiet unassuming man he will be missed by many.’ Within that brief recounting, he made a quick note of Bamonte’s skill, honoring the musician who started as a tech and then quietly help shaped the band’s sound over the years. It’s a subtle acknowledgment, but for fans who know the difficult history, it speaks volumes about respect earned through dedication and talent.

From supporting the band behind the scenes as a tech to stepping into the spotlight as a multi-instrumentalist, Bamonte became a part of The Cure’s fabric, and Tolhurst’s words capture that with warmth rather than fanfare. There’s something fitting in seeing a former bandmate’s life remembered in the human details of work, loyalty, and understated skill rather just in concerts and albums sold.
Fans quickly responded, with many sharing memories of Bamonte’s performances and the subtle ways he enhanced classic albums. Comments echoed the sentiment in Tolhurst’s post: people remembered the calm presence he brought to tours, joy at being able to see him work, and even private moments that made him both reliable and beloved. Even without a flood of words, the message resonated deeply.
It’s easy to forget how personal the bonds in The Cure have always been. From the early days with Tolhurst and Robert Smith in Crawley to decades of music that defined moods and playlists for generations, the connections behind the music remain profound. Tolhurst’s short tribute reflects that intimacy. A recognition of skill, a sketch of a life in music, and a simple expression of loss and respect.
