Roland Orzabal is the co-founder and lead vocalist of the British rock band Tears for Fears, known for their iconic hits like "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "Shout." Born on August 22, 1961, in Portsmouth, England, Orzabal's music career began in the early 1980s, and he quickly rose to fame with his emotionally resonant songwriting and distinctive voice. His personal life, particularly his long marriage to Caroline Johnston, has been marked by both deep love and profound challenges, including Caroline's battle with alcohol-related health issues, which ultimately led to her untimely death in 2017. Orzabal has since opened up about his experiences with grief and recovery in his memoir, "Welcome to Your Life: Love, Death & Tears For Fears." His artistry continues to resonate with audiences as he navigates both personal and professional realms.
