The Cure is dead!" Smith got angry and threw his drumsticks at Biddles' head, and yelled "Fuck off!"[3]

After that incident, Gallup left the band and started The Cry with Gary Biddles and Matthieu Hartley. Their first gig was at the Covent Garden Rock Garden on 19 April 1983. They later changed their name to Fools Dance, which released two EPs - Fools Dance and They'll Never Know.

The Cure are an English rock band that formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976 I suppose you just can't have two egocentrics in a band, and Robert was sort of 'the main man. '"[4]

However, in 1985, Smith asked Gallup to come back to The Cure, an offer which he accepted. The Cure are an English rock band that formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976 Since then, the two of them have remained on good terms. In fact, Gallup served as the best man at Smith's wedding in 1988. [3]
