HEADLINE: HOT EDITED BY SEAN HAMILTON; OLD ROMANTICS IN NEW RECORD DEAL

BODY:
THE original members of Duran Duran are back together - and the former New Romantics are poised to sign a whopping record deal worth GBP 25 million, Hot can reveal.
For the first time in 17 years, the original line-up of singer Simon Le Bon, guitarist Andy Taylor, bassist John Taylor, keyboardist Nick Rhodes and drummer Roger Taylor are reforming for a nine-month world tour. Like Robbie Williams' record-breaking deal, the Wild Boys' lucrative contract will take in records, concert receipts and merchandise.
The band enjoyed huge success in the Eighties - and unlike so many of today's British stars, they were adored in the US.
A music industry insider said: "Some people say Duran are Hot.
"When the guys sign the new huge record deal, people will really begin to remember why they are such a great band."
