Why did Curt Smith leave Tears For Fears in 1990?
There are often many diverse circumstances that lead to the split of any musical group, but the chic term to describe them is usually “creative differences”, and creative differences it was in this case. Both Roland and Curt have their own sides of the story: Curt’s being that he became disillusioned during the recording of The Seeds Of Love and its subsequent tour, and Roland’s being that this was eventually going to happen anyway since (in his opinion) TFF was becoming a one-man show. An issue involving management and debts that Roland and Curt disagreed on didn’t help matters any. Basically, both men grew too far apart creatively and personally to continue working together in a sane manner.
