The news on the band’s future also comes as May’s health has been in the headlines across the past year. The rock icon, 78, had a stroke last year, and in a recent interview with ITV’s “Love Your Weekend,” he outlined his routine as he tries to stay healthy.

Perry Bamonte, who was the guitarist and keyboardist for the legendary rock band The Cure, has died at age 65.
