Cured is a memoir by Lol Tolhurst a founder member of one of the most revered and successful
bands of their generation: The Cure. Lol threads the band's genesis through his suburban
schoolboy years with Robert Smith the iconic leader of the group and their most successful
era of the 1980s. Lol toured the globe many times over supporting the ground-breaking albums
Three Imaginary Boys Seventeen Seconds Faith and Pornography before departing the band in
1989 at the time of their aptly-titled masterwork Disintegration . 2011 saw a momentous reunion
tour and Lol performed with his former band mates for the first time in over twenty years.
Cured brings an acute eye for the times to bear on a lifelong friendship with tales of
personal addiction despair pain forgiveness and redemption along the way. It is the story of
a timeless band and a life truly lived.
