Simon LeBon’s Take On The Tour
The lead singer of Duran Duran said this about hitting the road this year: “It’s remarkable to me that as a band, we are still hitting new milestones, and introducing the sound of DD to new generations of music lovers. We are truly grateful that we get to do what we do on a daily basis, and that we still love our job as much as we did when we started out some four decades ago” (livenationentertainment.com).
