The Halloweeners of New York City, Simon Le Bon recalls, were more barewolf than werewolf. “There was quite a naked thing going on,” he says. “There were quite a few people wearing very little at all, just a pair of horns and a bit of fluff.”
Such were the too-much-skin-crawling terrors that greeted Duran Duran in October 2024, when they brought their now notorious Halloween show to NYC’s Madison Square Garden. “That was a real spectacular moment,” says keyboardist Nick Rhodes, “because we brought dancers in and an army of drag queens, and it was just really fun. It was like Duran meets Rocky Horror.”
