During the song 'what happens tomorrow'(which sounds like it could be about John)on tape I saw, John licked Simons lips & kissed him on the lips in friendship of bond between then. John & Simon really do love each other like more than brothers. When I look at him now I just say thank God he is alive.

I knew around 1989-1990 John didn't look good. Some feel they are above using social media, and in the age of the computer I think they might be losing potential new fans. They even are savvy at using social networking to promote their work, which not all bands are too savvy about. They may have been wild back in the day, but now they have matured, and they are doing quite well with their careers. SweetiePie from Southern California, USA on March 02, 2011: Ok, what he did? he was taking coke and other drugs, WTF, he managed to control himself, and in the end, the more Rock-pop stars do coke, maybe it's a way to go through the pressure, but yeah, there are some 'good' kids, and i don't say it ironic, like Roger Taylor, low profile and i think that they are the strongest characters.But anyway, John is a legend,Simon too, all the Durans gives my generation (i'm fuckin 38) a lot of good times, pleasure and fine memories.cause Duran Duran are the Beatles of the 80's, no doubt. And except of being a very very good bassist and songwriter, all his image, his look is perect, cause he was always pretty and handsome, girls went crazy about him, and even now at the age of 53 i think,he seems a lot younger and very handsome. John is a legend, and that can't change.he's the reason i pick up the bass and all his bass lines are amazing.(my fav:Union of the snake.). (Hold back the rain), hold back the rain (hold back the rain) Hold back the rain (hold back the rain), hold back the rain Sometimes you're needed badly so please come back againĪnd if the stars burn out there's only fire to blame (hold back the rain) Okay go off and wander I'm guilty just the same I probably didn't even say that right and I really don't give a damn So what if the words ain't rhyming did you thing that it's just a game Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane (hold back the rain) No time for worry cause we're on the roam again (hold back the rain)

People tell me I haven't changed at all but I don't feel the sameĪnd I've bet you've had that feeling too you can't laugh all the timeĪnd if the fires burn out there's only fire to blame (hold back the rain)

So call it what you want to call it still blows down the lane Yes we're miles away from nowhere and the wind doesn't have a name

Guitarist Andy Taylor became a full-blown cocaine addict rather quickly, and would battle the demons of drug addiction for many years before wresting himself free of its grip. Nick Rhodes, now the band's keyboardist, experimented but shrugged the drugs off, claiming later that he did not like the out-of-control feeling.įor two members of Duran Duran, however, drugs in general and cocaine in particular proved too tempting to decline. Simon Le Bon, the lead singer, dabbled but preferred liquor because he didn't like the way drugs interfered with his voice. Roger Taylor, the band's drummer, never took much of an interest at all. Lured by the exotic promise that doing drugs made you part of the same club as other legends like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, the members of Duran Duran indulged.įor some the experiment was brief and then over with. So it was no wonder when, as Duran Duran's star began to rise after the release of its first album in 1981, that the intoxicating siren song of easy drugs was soon to follow.
