The Cure‘s Robert Smith has left X (formerly Twitter) – see what he had to say in his parting message below.
Last night (January 19), Smith took to X to share his final post on the social media platform after first joining it – back when it was known as Twitter – in 2009. He wrote, in his signature all-capitalised style: “19TH JANUARY 2025. TIME TO GO. ANY OTHER ACCOUNT ON TWITTER CLAIMING TO BE ME IS A LIE.”
He then went on to list links to his other social media accounts which include BlueSky, Instagram and Mastodon. If he’s not posting on those apps “FROM TIME TO TIME,” Robert Smith will “LIKELY BE OUTSIDE”.
19TH JANUARY 2025.
TIME TO GO.
ANY OTHER ACCOUNT ON TWITTER CLAIMING TO BE ME IS A LIE.
I MAY FROM TIME TO TIME BE HERE: https://t.co/wgY0dp14Tr
OR HERE: https://t.co/fjXtL5cOJ5
OR HERE: https://t.co/hsBEt2Jof8...
OTHERWISE I WILL LIKELY BE OUTSIDE.ONWARDS...
RSX— ROBERT SMITH (@RobertSmith) January 19, 2025
Smith’s departure from X shouldn’t come as a surprise to fans, as he’s spent the last couple of months deleting old tweets. As it stands now, his account only holds 13 posts. He has toyed with the idea of leaving X since 2022, sharing a link to his Mastodon profile shortly after Elon Musk purchased Twitter.
At the time of publishing, it is currently unclear if The Cure will also be leaving X/Twitter.
