Perry Bamonte's Legacy: The Cure's Quiet Force

On March 28, Perry Bimante, the longtime guitarist and keyboardist for the Cure, passed away on Christmas Eve last year at age 65 after a short illness.

He leapt his entire estate netting around 1.4 million pounds to his widow Donna, whom he married in 2009.

No kids, just her as the sole beneficiary and executor.

Earlier this year, his will for May 22, 2024, was probated, valuing his UK assets at nearly 2 million pounds gross.

Perry rejoined the Cure in 2022 for 90 more shows, including some of their best ever after originally playing over 400 gigs.

Across 14 years, fans and the band mourned deeply, with the Cure calling him quiet, intense, and a vital creative force.

A family member raised alarms, prompting police to investigate his death, but Donna shut that down quick, saying it was all nonsense.

She explained he battled bowel cancer, first diagnosed in 2020, got the all clear in 2021, only for it to return terminally in.

2024.

No police contact since, and doctors back her story.

Perry wrapped up a rich life beyond music, fly fishing, drawing, and running a retirement home for racehorses with Donna in Devon.

His legacy echoes in those epic cure tracks, and the quiet passion he poured into everything.
