Duran Duran are fast approaching their 50th anniversary as a band, and Nick Rhodes has given an extensive interview with The Independent that reveals one or two things you never knew about the debonair keyboard player and his new romantic colleagues.
First off, during the mid '80s, when Duran were on the verge of splitting, Mick Jagger played a role in convincing them to stay together. According to Rhodes: “Mick looked at me and said ‘You know you really do need to stick together, that is your future.’ He was right because it could all have fallen apart at that time.”
