The duo behind 1980s hits like 'Shout' has a new hit album and are hitting the road in May.
"Shout.""Everybody Wants to Rule the World.""Head Over Heels." If you grew up in the 1980s, Tears for Fears — the British duo of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith — were inescapable.
But it's been tough for Orzabal, who's also 60, and Smith to say goodbye: They've been playing as a team since they were 14 years old, and that's a lot of shared history. But a few years ago, events on an international and personal scale caused them to rethink whether they might try making fresh, original music again.
That said, don't expect that there's some big reunion story between Orzabal and Smith that might make for a great climax in some biopic of the pair. They spent their teenage years and 20s as kids from Bath, U.K., who made it big with their first two albums , but success exacerbated their personality conflicts and money made it possible to — as Smith is unafraid to do — walk away.
