Laurence Tolhurst at AllExperts Laurence "Lol" Tolhurst (born Laurence Andrew Tolhurst on 3 February, 1959 in Horley, Surrey, England) is a founding member and former drummer/keyboardist for the UK goth rock band, The Cure. In early 1989, the rest of the band decided that they had enough, and fired Tolhurst because he was hardly contributing anything by this point. Lol's contributions to every Cure album following Pornography may be questionable due to his destructive habits as well as the fact that other band members were also credited for playing the keyboard (although it should be noted that that was also the case with Roger O'Donnell whom most fans consider the keyboardist of The Cure). en.allexperts.com /e/l/la/laurence_tolhurst.htm   (616 words)

Levinhurst   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Like the Beatles' ousted drummer, Tolhurst probably has a few axes to grind: originally the Cure's drummer, he later moved to keyboards, then to second keyboards.

The Greatest Songs Ever! Just Like Heaven Article on Blender :: The Ultimate Guide to Music and More Smith admits he was drinking heavily at the time, but keyboardist Lol Tolhurst, another founding member of the group, was far outstripping him in alcohol consumption, and before too long he would be ejected from the band.
