Eden, the son of bassist Simon Gallup (who stood in for his father on a run of 2019 dates), also excited fans by posting the lyrics from new song ‘Alone’: “This is the end of every song that we sing…”.It all led fans to believe that Robert Smith and co were readying to announce some kind of return – which they were collectively hoping was the long-awaited ‘Songs Of A Lost World’, as the postcards have apparently confirmed.Some fans of The Cure received these mysterious black cards in the mail today."Songs of a Lost World" I-XI-MMXXIVThis translates to 1-11-2024 or November 1st, 2024.
