THE CURE Drummer ANDY ANDERSON Dies At Age 68

The Cure

Andy Anderson, former drummer of THE CURE, has passed away at 68, after losing the battle to terminal cancer.

Anderson passed away following a battle with terminal cancer, a prognosis that he publicly revealed in a Facebook post earlier this month.

Keyboardist Lol Tolhurst confirmed that the musician died at home surrounded by loved ones just before 6pm last night. 

He said: “Andy Anderson was a true gentleman and a great musician with a wicked sense of humor which he kept until the end, a testament to his beautiful spirit on the last journey.”

Anderson joined THE CURE in 1983 when Tolhurst swapped from the sticks to keyboards after the 1982 album P**nography.
