Charity shirts for Ukraine: The Cure start relief campaign

The war in Ukraine also prompted The Cure to start a fundraiser: The musicians sell band shirts in the look of the Ukrainian flag and donate the proceeds to the UN refugee agency, which is currently also helping Ukrainian refugees.

Two different styles of shirt are available: a crew neck shirt and a V neck shirt. Both have yellow and blue The Cure lettering on the front, the backs are printed lengthwise with a quote from “Lovesong”: “However far away I will always love you”. As an addition to the order, there is a The Cure button.

Since this is a spontaneous action, only pre-orders can be made, the t-shirts have to be printed first. That takes a lot Online shop three to four weeks.

“Please buy a shirt”

There was a misunderstanding when communicating the shipping costs, as Robert Smith posted on Twitter. Anyone who paid too many fees as a result of this error would be reimbursed, the singer said in his tweet. He also asked the followers again: “Please buy a shirt”.

In addition to planning the relief effort, the British band around Robert Smith currently has their hands full. The album SONGS OF THE LOST WORLD, which will be released later this year, is still pending and the preparations for their “Euro-Tour 2022”, which will take the musicians to Germany for seven dates, are very busy.

Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann, who is auctioning off a work of art for a good cause, and Massive Attack member Robert Del Naja, who is donating the proceeds from his art print sale to an aid organization, have also recently provided help for the Ukraine.
