The Cure

During the emotional performance of "I Can Never Say Goodbye" at Arena Zagreb on October 27, 2022, The Cure was at a poignant moment in their career. This song, deeply personal for frontman Robert Smith, reflects on the loss of his brother, Richard, who had passed away not long before the performance. Just a year prior, in 2021, the band released their highly anticipated album, *Songs of a Lost World*, after a prolonged hiatus, which had many fans buzzing with excitement. The timing of this live performance is significant, bridging the gap between celebrated past hits and the new material that showcases the band's evolving narrative. Celebrated for their atmospheric soundscapes and emotional depth, The Cure has consistently resonated with audiences, and this performance is a testament to their dynamic ability to channel personal experiences into their art. It’s moments like these that remind us how music can profoundly connect us, especially in the face of grief.
