All six members of Duran Duran will be on hand this November 5th when the band is inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at L.A.’s Microsoft Theater. This includes former guitarist Andy Taylor, who was with the band throughout its original classic run through 1985 and a brief reunion in the 2000’s. Also set to play with the band is Missing Persons co-founder Warren Cuccurullo, who was the Duran Duran’s guitarist and a key songwriter from 1986 through 2000.
LeBon spoke to Rolling Stone and discussed the possible Rock Hall induction setlist: “We’ve got Andy on the first three albums, so you have songs like ‘Hungry Like The Wolf’ and ‘Rio,’ and ‘Planet Earth.’ (Warren) was a very important part of The Wedding Album, which had ‘Ordinary World’ and ‘Come Undone’ on it. We’re not struggling for good songs, that’s for sure.”
