| The Cure 'considered quitting live circuit' before taking Bestival headline slot vu sur : http://www.nme.com/news/the-cure/59139 - Citation :
The Cure's Robert Smith has revealed that the band considered quitting the live circuit before being offered a headline slot at this year's Bestival.
The group, who will top the bill at the Isle Of Wight event tonight (September 10), have not played live for over two years, while Smith's only notable musical contributions during that time have been guest vocal spots for Crystal Castles and Japanese Popstars.
The frontman told The Guardian he disappeared from the spotlight after growing fearful that the band could end up "going through the motions" after they completed a world tour in support of their 2008 album '4:13 Dream'.
He explained:
I hated the idea of sliding into the twilight zone, going through the motions. My whole life I've played music for my own personal enjoyment and the idea of it becoming a machine or a business is just horrible.
Smith also admitted he feels "uncomfortable" with politicising his music, commenting:
Very few of them [political musicians] are clever enough to do it; if they're good at the political side, the music side suffers, and vice versa. As a character, a public persona, I'm not perceived in that way; I don't think I have the gravitas, the way I look, to pull it off. | |
