Duran Duran are an English Rock band from Birmingham, United Kingdom. Arguebly They Have Been Named the Biggest Band Of The 80s. Since the 1980s they have placed 14 in the Top 10 of the U.K. Singles Chart and 21 in the Billboard Hot 100 and have sold more than 70 million records.
The band was created by Nick Rhodes , John Taylor and Stephen Taylor, with the later addition of Roger Taylor and, after numerous personnel changes, Andy Taylor, and Simon Le Bon. (None of the Taylors are related.) The group has never disbanded, but the line-up has changed to include guitarist Warren Cuccurullo from 1989 to 2001, and drummer Sterling Campbell from 1989 to 1991. The reunion of the original five members in the early 2000s created a stir among the band's fans and music media. Andy Taylor left the band in summer 2006, and London guitarist Dom Brown has since been working with the band as a session player and touring member, but is not considered a full member of the band. A full time replacement guitarist for Andy Taylor so far has not been appointed.
