This just in (according to Chainofflowers.com)-
"Very bad news,. Just got inside news from my cousin who works at the guardian, word is Simon Gallup is opting out on his contract ASAP due to un-disclosed reasons. The Cure will need new Bass player ASAP to keep curiosa on schedule. My cousin is a manager and he related there is a gag order from the court as petitioned by their record company. I post new info as it comes in."
Well at least someone in the band still has testicles. Perhaps Ross Robinson took Robert's dick out his mouth long enough to provoke Simon one last time(?)
