London, UK – In a shocking and emotional interview, Robert Smith, the iconic lead vocalist of The Cure, revealed his deepest regret: not having children.
Despite a illustrious career spanning over four decades, with countless hits, sold-out tours, and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Smith confessed that the absence of children in his life has left a gaping void.
“I’ve accomplished so much, but it’s all meaningless without someone to share it with, to leave it to,” Smith said, his voice cracking with emotion. “I’ve made a fortune, but what’s the point of it all if there’s no one to inherit it?”
Smith, who has been married to his wife Mary Poole for over 30 years, revealed that they had made a conscious decision not to have children early on in their relationship. However, as he’s grown older, he’s come to realize the gravity of that decision.
“I was so focused on my career, on the band, on the music… I didn’t think about the future, about what would happen when I’m gone,” Smith said, shaking his head. “Now, I’m faced with the reality of it all, and it’s a hard pill to swallow.”
Smith’s words serve as a cautionary tale to younger generations, and he hopes that his story will serve as a warning to others.
“Don’t make the same mistake I did,” Smith urged. “Have children, build a family, leave a legacy that’s more than just music or money. I may have had a successful career, but I’ve failed in the things that truly matter.”
As Smith looks back on his life and career, he’s left to ponder what could have been. Though he’s grateful for the music, the fans, and the memories, he knows that he’s missed out on something far more precious.
“I may have been the face of The Cure, but I’ve been cursed with regret,” Smith said, his eyes welling up with tears. “I hope that others will learn from my mistakes and prioritize the things that truly bring joy and fulfillment.”
