Andy Taylor Quits Duran Duran

October 27, 2006

20061027_taylor_260x220.jpgI just CAN quit you, the guitarist told his band-mates last weekend. But the remaining four members -- singer Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, bassist John Taylor and drummer Roger Taylor -- plan to continue recording and performing as a group.

Oh, are we breathing a sigh of relief. What would we do in a world without Duran Duran. We’re hungry like all wolves. We went astronaut with them. We like girls on films (even if we don’t like them in our beds … very often).

''We have reached a point in our relationship with him where there is an unworkable gulf between us and we can no longer effectively function together,'' the band said in a statement on their Web site.

They apologized to fans for not making the announcement sooner, saying they realized that speculation had been running high about Taylor's future.

Duran Duran, led by Le Bon, were a big act in the 1980s but later faded from popularity before regrouping five years ago.

''Although obviously disappointed and saddened about this, we are excited about the next chapter of the Duran Duran story and look forward to seeing you all soon,'' the statement said.
