Poor Simon LeBon/Duran Duran news

Simon lost his voice recently and a bunch of European dates had to be rescheduled/cancelled.

DURAN DURAN BERLIN DATE POSTPONED AGAIN


June 6th, 2011


Despite hopes that singer Simon Le Bon’s voice would be fully recovered by now, Duran Duran have been forced to postpone their upcoming Berlin date once again today (rescheduled for Wednesday June 8 at the Tempodrom) on doctor’s advice. A new, replacement date will be announced shortly.

Duran Duran were due to start a world tour in support of their latest studio album, ALL YOU NEED IS NOW, in early May, but have had to postpone all of the concerts so far following Simon Le Bon’s vocal problems, which were diagnosed just days before the first dates of the tour. Doctors are confident that Le Bon’s voice will be back to full strength shortly, but don’t want him to embark on concerts until he is 100% recovered.

Yeah i was pulling for this to be a single, it just screams to be a single as does "Leopard" and a hhost of others, the "models" and their names will get the video exposure, and bring some light on the single and album and maybe wake up the industry

Weren't they in George Michael's Freedom 90 video?

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Yeah, this was my fave cut from the beginning and I'm glad they are continuing to promote the album.

Most of them. Linda Evangelista was for sure, don't know if she's in the upcoming DD video.

He never had much of a voice anyway. Always sounded nasally to me.

Yeah that's too bad for Simon. Hope he'll be back to old self soon. Glad I was able to see them back in April. It was a fun show. "Girl Panic" is growing on me. I don't why I haven't taken to it sooner. My faves are "The Man Who Stole The Leopard," "Leave A Light On," and "Before the Rain."

I'm excited for the "Girl Panic" video! My favorites are "Being Followed," "Safe," "Girl Panic," "Too Bad You're So Beautiful," "Runway Runaway," and "Blame the Machines." But the whole album is phenomenal. music
