Happy Birthday to Robert Smith! Smith was born on this day in 1959 and would go on to establish one of the most seminal bands in music history. Celebrate with some vintage Cure footage below.
Start with the rare solo performance by Robert Smith taken from The Cure's 2012 appearance at Bilbao. During The Cure's set the power went out and while the band left the stage to figure out what to do, Smith entertained the crowd with a three song acoustic performance. Smith revealed earlier this month that he hates playing on stage solo because he "gets lonely."
