Pop fans will be wishing Andy Taylor well after the former Duran Duran guitarist revealed he is suffering from cancer.
ChronicleLive reported how the 61-year-old had opened up on his four-year battle with the disease which forced him to miss teaming up last Saturday with his former band mates in Los Angeles at the star-studded Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony. Read the full story here.
Hailing from Cullercoats, North Tyneside, and a one-time pupil at Marden High School, Andy began playing guitar at 11, before going on to be part of one of the biggest pop bands of the 1980s. Duran Duran were the pretty boys of the so-called New Romantic scene, with a string of hits that included Girls On Film, The Reflex, Save A Prayer, View To A Kill, and Rio.
