Andy Anderson, one-time drummer of The Cure and collaborator of Robert Smith and Iggy Pop, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. How ironic his band is THE CURE :(
A member of The Cure from 1983-1984, Anderson played drums on the band’s fifth album,The Top, and the subsequent live LP,Concert: The Cure Live. He also contributed to The Glove, the short-lived side-project between The Cure’s Robert Smith and Siouxsie and the Banshees’ Steven Severin, as well as worked with Iggy Pop, Sex Pistols’ Glen Matlock, and Jimmy Pursey’s Sham 69.
