Tears For Fears Stars On Split

Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith talked about their split in an interview with BBC in March 2022, after the release of the album ‘The Tipping Point’ in February 2022. It was their first album together after 18 years. They revealed that they didn’t talk for almost a decade. While talking about the reason behind his exit from the band Smith stated, “ We grew up together and became successful together. By our mid-twenties, we’d become this very big band, and for me personally, I was trying to find some individuality. When you're growing up in your twenties, and you're always known as 'that guy from Tears For Fears,' you’re not Curt Smith, you’re not Roland Orzabal, you’re that guy from Tears For Fears. And certainly, by your mid to late twenties, you have a desire to be an individual, and you’re trying to find yourself. So I think that’s when I decided I needed to get away from England. I ended up moving to New York and I met my wife and I’ve been there now for 35 years. I just think I needed to disappear for a while."

Orzabal revealed that they reconnected through fax after nine years. He said, “We reconnected by fax - the reverse of Phil Collins who divorced by fax. He sent me a fax, it popped up on the printer… We had business things on the go so were always dealing with things and signing off on songs for publishing and adverts and films. Then all of a sudden Curt popped up and said 'Here’s my number, it’s nine years, give me call.' I was like, 'should I, should I not?'"
