Tears For Fears have called off the remainder of their UK tour in support of their latest album ‘The Tipping Point’.
The duo was forced to scrap the dates after Curt Smith suffered a fractured rib earlier this month.
In an announcement on social media, they penned: “Following further examination of Curt’s rib fracture, doctors have advised that his injury requires strict rest to recover.
We’ve absolutely loved seeing everyone and performing for you. We are so disappointed not to be able to play the shows which we have been looking forward to for so long and can’t wait to be performing for you again. Please contact your point of purchase for a full ticket refund.

“As such, it is with a heavy heart that we share we must cancel the remaining shows of The Tipping Point UK Tour.”
The pair added: “We’ve absolutely loved seeing everyone and performing for you.
“We are so disappointed not to be able to play the shows which we have been looking forward to for so long and can’t wait to be performing for you again.”
In his own post, Curt thanked fans for their support following his accident, explaining: “Thank you for the outpouring of get well messages!! I’m so disappointed.
“The last week has been horribly depressing, not knowing why the pain wasn’t subsiding & knowing everyone has been waiting to hear. It took a trip to London & an ultrasound to finally see the clear fracture.
“The good news is that I now know & it will heal. As you’ll see – eventually it was pretty obvious why I was in so much pain. Again – thank you so much for understanding & caring!!!”
Tears for Fears released their seventh studio album ‘The Tipping Point’ earlier this year, with the album reaching the Top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic.
In a review of the album, Retro Pop said ‘The Tipping Point’ “feeds into the history of the band, referencing the pair’s journey to create the record along with key musical moments from their storied career.”
‘The Tipping Point’ is available now.
