Roland Orzabal

Here’s some of the latest cool happenings with Roland and Family.

2025

Baby Eula was born in the summer. Curt spoke of it in an interview, Captain Julian confirmed it and Lady Emily shared a photo of the sweet baby sitting with she and Roland. It was super special. We’re asking fellow fans to give them space.

Roland teased fans about an upcoming Tour in 2026. Had lots of jokes on stage. Raoul, his son who is an award winning visual artist was in the crowd with the fans. That was a surreal moment for several of us.

2024

The band has a cameo (well, a song) in The Minions movie. Be sure to check that out… They’ve been kind of quiet but in October they’ll be at Fontainebleau for a mini-res. We also get to see The Tipping Point Movie in theatres.

The band appeared at the premiere of The Tipping Point and fans gathered for a Q&A. Several got to meet Pascal, Roland’s son who also produces music under the name Quarterboy. His tunes are a terrific and delicious mix you won’t be able to live without once you hear them…

2023

We got to hang out with the band via the VIP option during soundcheck. Roland was there looking fit as a fiddle and hair coiffed to the nines. Talk about sharp dressed. Sorry to be superficial but dang, we had to call that out. They are admirable in so many ways. Great to be a part of The Tipping Point film. This is awesome. He and Curt continue to do interviews and keep us all informed.

2022:

Big Tour Year – The Tipping Point was released and we followed them around like puppies.

2021:

Roland and Curt both completed some really cool interviews on the BBC. Both participated in interviews where they were able to discuss their favourite artists and songs that influenced them. We learned about Roland’s appreciation for Kate Bush. Curt let us know how much he enjoys the song A Walk Across the Rooftop by The Blue Nile.

Both Roland and Curt received an Ivor Novello Award for Tears for Fears’ Best Music Collection as voted by their peers. We feel it surpasses all other awards because when your industry colleagues love you it says a lot! Congratulations to the team.

We were also introduced to the band’s friends at Radio Bath – a new station in Bath UK that is super supportive of Tears for Fears. Curt’s brother Shaun Smith is involved. We’ll be listening and interacting with them (e.g. Dave Mason) a lot in the months to come.

2020: Roland Orzabal and Emily Rath finally had their wedding day (not the big one but a ceremony to solidify their union), We’re very happy for them and have enjoyed the photos and fun that Emily has shared with us all.

2019:

May: Roland is officially engaged. We’re excited!

2018: Roland had some fun with his friends and family this summer as shown in this tweets from his awesome brother Captain Julian Orzabal. There are other photos circulating with Roland on the tennis court. We’re happy he’s doing well.

We can now say that given that his sons are very vocal, out and about…and grown up! My how time flies (pun intended)! Roland is off Twitter for the moment but the fun with his relatives continues. From Captain Julian to his youngest, the honourable Mr. Pascal you can learn a lot from them all…and see some amazing art!
