Tears for Fears singer Roland Orzabal says that in the years leading up to his first wife Caroline’s death, he fell in love with another woman. He makes the disclosure in a memoir, “Welcome to Your Life,” where he describes the period as emotionally difficult and recounts how his marriage’s final years unfolded.
Both outlets say Caroline died after a long battle with an alcohol-related illness. Fox News and the Post add that Orzabal identifies the woman he fell for as Emily Rath, presenting it as a relationship that developed before Caroline’s death. The accounts focus mainly on Orzabal’s personal reflections in the memoir, including his framing of choosing to move forward.
While the sources agree on the core timeline—Orzabal’s memoir, his love for another woman, Caroline’s illness, and her death—they differ slightly in emphasis, with one providing more detail about his “I chose life” statement and the broader context of his final years.
