After 50 years of being a band, the Cure have won their first Grammys. 2024’s Songs Of A Lost World, their 14th studio LP, earned them a nomination for Best Alternative Music Album and the track “Alone” was up for Best Alternative Music Performance, and the group won both. They couldn’t be in attendance due to the funeral of their recently passed bandmate Perry Bamonte.

The band shared this statement:

SIMON, JASON, ROGER, REEVES AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE GRAMMY’S FOR THIS WONDERFUL AWARD;
WE ARE VERY HONOURED TO RECEIVE IT.

WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK;

EVERYONE WHO HELPED IN THE CREATION OF OUR SONGS OF A LOST WORLD ALBUM, PARTICULARLY CO-PRODUCER PAUL CORKETT;

EVERYONE IN THE UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP WHO WORKED SO HARD TO GET OUR LOST WORLD FOUND;

EVERYONE IN OUR MOSTLY INDEFATIGABLE CURE CREW, INCLUDING ALL THOSE AT PRIMARY AND CAA;

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, ALL THE CURE FANS AROUND THIS WORLD WHO CAME TO OUR LOST WORLD SHOWS AND ENJOYED OUR LOST WORLD MUSIC;

WITHOUT YOU, NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE.

THANK YOU.
