Duran Duran has revealed their former guitarist Andy Taylor is battling Stage 4 prostate cancer. The legendary band made the shocking announcement in a speech as they were admitted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during a ceremony in LA on Saturday.
The 61-year-old was absent as the band produced a special performance of some of their biggest hits at the ceremony. The British new wave band, once dubbed the Fab Five by Rolling Stone magazine, were inducted as part of the Class of 2022. Duran Duran received the most public votes, tallying 934,880 in their first-ever nomination, the Mirror reports.
They join the likes of Carly Simon, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie and Eminem in being admitted to the Hall of Fame this year. Taylor, who is reportedly four years into a fight with advanced prostate cancer, was not present but was mentioned.
