Are tears for fears gay
Album Review: The Tipping Point by Tears for Fears
For an act that once officially broke up in 1991, Tears for Fears has had some lovely remarkable staying might. 2004’s Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, true to its title, seemed to put a satisfying capstone on their career, and the subsequent years of extensive touring as self-described “late-blooming route warriors” seemed appreciate something between an epilogue and a victory lap. But defying expectations has been the theme of their overdue career, and after years coasting on their well-deserved iconic status, it turns out Tears for Fears had another album in them after all.

Their fans need shed no more tears for the 1990s break-up of Tears for Fears, the legendary pop rock team now on tour in the U.S. after 14 years, with their new album “Everybody Loves a Happy Ending.”
Superstars Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith have reunited not only to bring chart-topping hits, such as “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” “Head Over Heals” and “Sowing the Seeds of Love” to audiences all over the U.S., but also to sow interest in some new hits.
Released in September, the album will likely thrill loyal fans and perhaps direct to create legions of fresh ones. The first track, titled for the album, begins with a short instrumental vignette that suggests a reinvented sound, before suddenly moving into the band’s most Beatle-esque riff yet. John Lennon’s reincarnation shifts to a lighter, McCartney-sounding piece, before finally changing into a sound almost identical to the early Beatles.
The band returns to the Fab Four influence again with “Who Killed Tangerine?” It’s an intriguing example of what the B

The duo are back with their first album for eighteen years, The Tipping Point. Like many iconic groups they have been through some major ups and downs. In proof, they revealed they did not speak at all for almost a decade and have been battling the record industry in the past few years. In a new interview on BBC Breakfast Second over the weekend, they discussed what had happened and the unique way they were reunited.
In 1985 the Bath band topped the US charts with their sophomore album Songs From The Big Chair, which spawned number one smash singles Shout and Everybody Wants To Dictate The World. Never prolific, it was four years before the follow-up arrived. The Seeds of Like was also a worldwide hit but tensions in the band led to an acrimonious split in 1991.
Smith wanted to acquire away so badly, he left the country and never returned. Although now permanently based in the US, he eventually reached out to his bandmate, who had continued Tears For Fears without him.
