The Cure brought their epic European tour to a close on Tuesday night (13th December) with their third and final show at London's OVO Arena Wembley.
The tour - which began in Latvia at the start of October - has seen Robert Smith unveil songs from The Cure's long-awaited new album, Songs Of A Lost World, which is expected to be released in 2023. The Wembley shows saw performances of the new tracks Alone, And Nothing Is Forever, A Fragile Thing, Endsong and I Could Never Say Goodbye.
The current line-up of The Cure consists of Smith (vocals, guitar), Simon Gallup (bass), Reeves Gabrels (guitar), Roger O'Donnell (keyboards), Perry Bamonte (guitar, keyboards) and Jason Cooper (drums).
After the final show, Robert Smith tweeted "NOT GOING ANYWHERE", after revealing that shows in North America and the rest of the world were planned for 2023.

What did The Cure play at their Wembley shows
The Cure have been keeping their fans guessing as usual by mixing up their lengthy sets over the past two months.
Alongside the new songs, the band have performed tracks from their entire 40 year career - from 1979's Three Imaginary Boys debut to favourites such as In Between Days, Boys Don't Cry, Pictures Of You, Close To Me and the perennial classic Friday I'm In Love.
Robert Smith has even dipped into the back catalogue for rare tracks from albums such as Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography, including Primary, Cold, The Figurehead, M, A Strange Day and At Night.
Here's what they performed across three nights at Wembley.
