SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cure have posted a message on their website http://www.thecure.com/ announcing the postponement of the band's fall U.S.tour.
"With all apologies for any inconvenience
or disappointment it may cause, we have made a decision to move the
September/October 2007 North American Cure shows to April/May 2008. The
schedule as it stands only gives us a couple of weeks to finish our new
album before we hit the road again, and we know this just isn't enough
time to complete the project to our total satisfaction."
Fear not Cure fans, all tickets purchased
for the 2007 fall tour will be honored for the rescheduled date.
Similarly, anyone looking for a refund will be offered one. Details on
refunds/rescheduled dates will be announced shortly.
The Cure will still be headlining the San
Francisco Download Festival October 6th, will be performing at the MTV
Latin America Awards October 18th and will still be playing the three
Mexico City Palacio de los Deportes shows October 20th/21st/22nd.
Look for The Cure to release a new album on Suretone/Geffen Records in April 2008!
Led as always by lead singer/guitarist
Robert Smith, the Cure line-up comprises longtime members bass player
Simon Gallup, drummer Jason Cooper and, back in the band for a third
time, guitarist Porl Thompson.
The Cure first formed in southern England
in 1976 as Easy Cure. In 1978 the 'Easy' was dropped, and The Cure was

the summer of 2005's European festival run.
