WILD BOYS!

Duran Duran staged a triumphant comeback in LONDON last night.


The sold-out show at the 2000-capacity Forum saw the original line-up of Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor and Andy Taylor together on a UK stage for the first time since 1985.


Playing to a star-studded crowd that included Mark Owen, Avid Merrion and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, the band reminded the UK just why they have enjoyed such a resurgence in popularity.


The set contained the pick of their back catalogue, including ‘Rio’, ‘Hungry Like The Wolf’, ‘Save A Prayer’, ‘Wild Boys’ and Girls On Film’.


Singer Simon LeBon told the crowd: "This has been the best homecoming we could ever have had."


Tonight, Duran Duran play the Fashion Rocks benefit at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
