Not seen this here before & it's worth a read. It's a long interview from 2004 & has some nice insights into the making of The Cure including Ross Robinson having a meltdown.
S: It’s not like the Cure was obscure. You’ve always had fans who would lay down and die for you.
R: Yeah, when we did the Wish album in 1992, it went number one around the world. In America it was held off the number one spot-it might have been number two because of Janet Jackson, at that point. We were playing stadiums and stuff, but I knew that that wasn’t going to last. We were kind of “there,” I knew.
I've had a hard time picturing RS and TC meeting JJ backstage as a fellow inductee on March 29th more so than any of the other inductees. This makes that vision real.
"Oh, Janet! I'm so sorry I spilled that drink all over you!!"

& is it coincidence she's also headlining a night at Glasto?

Oh, yeah. That's right! I remember thinking that was too much of a coincidence.
ETA: Please dear God don't let there be any Janet "wardrobe malfunctions" on the 29th.
This hahaha yes R: I’ve got like twenty-five nephews and nieces and I see them all the time, so when I wanna go driving or something, I take them places, or when they come ’round I’m subjected to some of the most awful bloody music.
