After a conversation with Robert Smith, the idea came together to perform Three Imaginary Boys, Seventeen Seconds, and Faith live—starting in Australia as part of The Cure’s Reflections shows in 2011. For Lol, the most powerful part wasn’t just the music—it was reconnecting with fans he hadn’t seen in over 20 years.
