Close To Tears are Europe's Premier Celebration Of Tears For Fears. As regular visitors to major circuit venues and festivals in the UK, Close To Tears are heralded as the next best thing to Tears For Fears; endorsed by family of Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal & liked by Curt Smith himself Close To Tears capture the very essence of the 80's pop sensation, Tears For Fears. Once the vision was born, to bring to the stage a musically authentic tribute to Tears For Fears back in 2015, the band needed to be assembled from the best of the best. Five professional musicians who have performed with: Alison Moyet, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Lillie Alan, Kyle Minogue, Joe Satriani and many more and one semi-professional musicians with more than 60 years of joint experience in the professional setting. Close To Tears is a band which simply explodes from the stage: talent, passion and energy mark Close To Tears above the rest.
