Sending LOVE to all my Homies and Fans, in Italy 🇮🇹 particularly, the UK 🇬🇧 and the US 🇺🇸 and everywhere in the world I have been lucky enough to visit on my travels with DURAN DURAN. But I want to let you know that it isn't always a killer, and we can and will beat this thing. I am speaking out in answer to the enormous amount of fear being generated by the pandemic, some of it entirely justified, and my heart goes out to everyone who has had to deal with real loss and pain.

John performed under the name Nigel when he was a teenager, but he decided to drop. Perhaps I am a particularly robust 59 year old - I like to think I am - or was blessed with getting only a mild case of Covid 19 - but after a week or so of what I would describe as a 'Turbo-charged Flu', I came out of it feeling okay- although I must admit I didn't mind the quarantine as it gave me the chance to really recover. John Taylor, 59, was one of the co-founders of Duran Duran alongside Nick Rhodes and former singer Stephen Duffy. Ticket info can be found HERE.DEAR FRIENDS OF MINE after giving some thought to this, I have decided to share with you that I tested positive with the Corona Virus almost three weeks ago. Talking exclusively to The Press and Journal from his Los Angeles home, John has promised a party for Inverness fans. Duran Duran will play Inverness’ Caledonian Stadium in a much-anticipated show on Saturday July 2. The band will perform three shows at the end of the year. Duran Duran bassist John Taylor insists the chart-topping legends ‘jumped at the chance’ to perform in Inverness for the first time. A grand prize of a Duran Duran meet and greet will be awarded to the fan who makes the largest donation.ĭuran Duran will release a limited-edition deluxe vinyl box set of Paper Gods through Vinyl Factory later this month, featuring previously unreleased material from the Paper Gods recording sessions. For larger donations, Duran Duran is generously making a number of gifts available including DVDs, posters, and signed promotional materials from the Paper Gods tour. Through Road Recovery’s CrowdRise website, music fans have an opportunity to make tax-deductible donations of ten dollars or more, in exchange for this exclusive track, unavailable elsewhere. The result, “No Rewind,” is an original, energetic, dance-rock tinged song that was produced, mixed, and arranged by the band members, along with Duran Duran producer/engineer Joshua Blair. Over the past nine months, Road Recovery’s youth exchanged demo recordings and sonic ideas with John and Roger. In between Duran Duran’s New York City-area stops on the band’s tour in support of their most recent album Paper Gods, Roger Taylor and John Taylor took time out to work with youth from Road Recovery’s RecoveryTrax program, meeting backstage and rolling up their sleeves at Threshold Recording Studios NYC, home to the charity’s youth programs. Lyrically and thematically, it’s an expression of the real concerns of sober kids.” “‘No Rewind’ itself says a lot about Road Recovery’s work and philosophy.

“Road Recovery offers a safe, drug and alcohol-free place for young people to learn and work, and with professional guidance, introduces them to all aspects of the music business, from songwriting and performance, to the delivery of their music to fans, either live or via recordings,” said John Taylor. Road Recovery was founded in 1998, and involves music professionals mentoring at-risk youth through creative workshops, live concerts, and recording projects. All proceeds will go to support NYC-based non-profit Road Recovery’s youth programs. Aside from music, Taylor has had a successful stint as an actor as well. Luckily, to the delight of Duran Duran fans, he rejoined the band in 2001. Duran Duran drummer Roger Taylor and bassist John Taylor collaborated with at-risk youth from the charity Road Recovery to produce, mix, and record an original dance-rock song, “No Rewind.” The song is available to purchase exclusively at CrowdRise through a download-for-donation campaign.
