Tears for Fears are in full bloom with a concert film, a live album, new songs and Vegas dates
Tears for Fears are still going strong in 2024, with a concert film only the latest output from the duo who were relatively quiet for 17 years before releasing 2022's “The Tipping Point.”
NEW YORK (AP) — When Tears for Fears hit the stage at Firstbank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee, on July 11, 2023, there were no tears but some fears.
“We walked on stage and I felt like a deer caught in the headlines,” says singer and guitarist Roland Orzabal, half of the duo. Curt Smith, his musical partner, agreed: “We put on a brave face.”
The reason the duo were uneasy was because cameras were about to capture, for the first time, a Tears for Fears concert destined for the big screen. “Tears For Fears Live (A Tipping Point Film)” premieres in over 1,100 movie theaters worldwide on Oct. 24 and Oct. 26.
“We normally look far more relaxed and are enjoying ourselves far more. We weren’t as much that night because we were very conscious of being filmed and being recorded,” says Smith. “But, consequently, it was probably one of the best performances we ever did.”
