Duran Duran

The Eighties Band Still Going Strong in the Noughties

How do they do it?

Duran Duran

10.01.2008

Featuring the singles Ordinary World (which won a prestigious Ivor Novellor award for songwriting) and Come Undone, it received major critical and commercial success.

After three albums that failed to continue the momentum, the original five were back
for touring and 2004’s Astronaut which reached #3 in the UK and entered the US top 20.

Famous musical fans of Duran Duran include names as varied as Gwen Stefani, Coldplay, Beck, Marilyn Manson and The Deftones. They have also won two Grammys for musical videos, a lifetime achievement award from both MTV and the Brits, as well as appearing on the cover of the prestigious Rolling Stone magazine.

The new album with two of the hottest names at the moment promises to be special. Timbaland produced the album and Justin Timberlake sings on Nite Runner, and sings and produces on Falling Down. Duran Duran may not always have been in the limelight but they’ve never been content to stay in the shadows.
