AEG Live and the Broward Center present Tears for Fears... one of the most successful bands in 1980's Rock.In February of 1985, Tears For Fears released their 2nd album "Songs From the Big Chair" which became a huge hit in America, rocketing them to the top of the charts on the strength of the singles "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "Shout," both hitting number one, and the number three single "Head Over Heels," which were all supported by clever, stylish videos that received heavy MTV airplay.
This disc entered the UK album chart at number two and remained in its upper reaches for the next 12 months. They did away with the predominantly synth-pop feel of their first album, 1983's "The Hurting", expanding into a more sophisticated sound that would become the band's stylistic hallmark. The new Tears for Fears sound helped to propel Songs from the "Big Chair" into becoming one of the year's biggest global sellers, eventually being certified triple-platinum in the UK and quintuple-platinum in the U.S.
The duo's last studio album "Everybody Loves a Happy Ending" was released in 2004.
Tears for Fears will be at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Tuesday August 31, 2010.
