Perry Bamonte, the guitarist and keyboardist who helped define The Cure's haunting sound during the 1990s and early 2000s, has died aged 65.
The band confirmed his passing on 26 December, revealing that the musician died at home over Christmas after what they described as a 'short illness'. While tributes have poured in from across the world, The Cure's deliberate silence on the exact cause of death has left fans both heartbroken and with unanswered questions.
