| What Are They Up To? |
After what was a fiery break-up, Curt and Roland ‘forgave’ a decade later and started collaborating again in 2001. Recently, it was announced that the product of a years recording - the release of a new album ‘Everybody Loves A Happy Ending’ - has been delayed to “a future date”; the first single, ‘Closest thing To Heaven’ has also been postponed. Tears for Fears first split in 1992, with Roland continuing to use the name as well as producing solo work. He released ‘Tomcats Screaming Outside’ in late 2001. Curt went to live in Los Angeles, started playing solo, and resurfaced with a new band, Mayfield, after 8 years of quiet, but released only one album in 2000. |
