Perry Bamonte, who performed guitar and keyboards for the Remedy, has died on the age of 65.
“It’s with monumental unhappiness that we affirm the dying of our nice pal and bandmate Perry Bamonte who handed away after a brief sickness at residence over Christmas,” the band posted on their web site. “Quiet, intense, intuitive, fixed and massively artistic, ‘Teddy’ was a heat hearted and very important a part of the Remedy story.”
After working as Robert Smith‘s guitar tech and private assistant, Bamonte grew to become an official member of the Remedy in 1990, and the primary album he appeared on was 1992’s Want.
“Now, I am one of many first to go residence after a present as a substitute of the final one to go away,” he stated in an interview then. “It is more healthy, that is for certain. Additionally, within the Remedy we get so as to add our personal elements to the music—tempos, accents…I believe our sound is much more pushed and noisy now. … Although we’re very separate and distinct people, we have advanced a type of group thoughts with the music. It is so much like science fiction, being within the Remedy.”
He performed on two extra studio albums, Wild Temper Swings (1996) and Bloodflowers (2000) earlier than being dismissed from the group in 2005.
After that, Bamonte led a comparatively quiet life, devoting most of his creative expertise to creating illustrations. In 2019, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Corridor of Fame alongside his Remedy bandmates, and in 2022, he rejoined the band.
“Our ideas and condolences are with all his household,” the Remedy’s assertion concluded. “He will probably be very vastly missed.”
