Roland Ozabald from Tears Fro Fears is not dead but alive and well.

The singer has been rumored to be dead on social media for some time but, on Sunday (February 27) the singer’s reps officially confirmed that Roland Orzabal is not dead.

“He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.
