Watched an episode of Las Vegas. Hungry Like The Wolf was blasting at the beginning. DD "performed" Sunrise at the end. didn't see Andy tho, someone was playing his "part".

HLTW was awesome!!

Yeah saw that one a while ago. i think it was filmed while Andy's emphysema was flaring up [:p]

(It was during his unwell period)

Apparently Andy has been a little unwell more recently as well.

Also one does have to question why he required an oxygen mask during the astronaut pre-tour though...

I made a break I run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year maybe no go
I know you're watching me every minute of the day yeah
I've seen the signs and the looks and the pictures
They give your game away yeah
There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to stay

Please please tell me now i
Is there something i should know
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same 'cos you don't let it show

Reports Andy has left the band due to a disagreement with Management.

Bloody Hell.. they were going so well too. Ahh well.. ANOTHER lineup change for DD (assuming its true.. which at this point seems likely)

TM, is it true?....really??!! OMG....FAINT[xx(]......!!!

where did u get the news from?

by **TragicMagic** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 1:38 pm

Yes..sadly it appears true that Andy is either ill, or has had a disagreement with management. The former is how the issue started to be reported, the latter is a story now emerging from:

1) A british Tabloid
2) Remembertheeighties.com (probably from above)
3) As a result of above, pretty much any DD site you can imagine

In a Radio interview with Simon (i think it was yesterday), Simon said he "thought Andy was still a bit sick" and was very sketchy about the whole thing.

Other reports / speculation is that Andy was in disagreement over the recent venture to team up with Justin Timberlake and slightly change the direction they were heading, and as a result decided to leave.

Hopefully DD management will release a formal statement in coming days.

Yeah i heard about DD collaboration with Justin. That really turned me off too.

Yo DD, get Andy back, kick Justin OUT!!!!

Yeah, I've also heard that Andy's most likely left the band.[:(] From what I have read, it doesn't seem to be a falling out with the band itself, but rather the management (who stinks anyway, non-promoting jerks!) and the direction the band may have been heading in in collaborating with not only Justin Timberlake but also Timbaland. I mean, WTF ? (on those collaborations)

Offical Statement:

To Our Fans

We know that there has been a tremendous amount of speculation over the past few weeks regarding Andy Taylor's continued involvement with the band and we are sorry that we've been unable to provide you with more information until now. The past five years have been an incredible journey for us all - and having the original five back together was something that we had wanted to see happen for some time. As of last weekend, however, the four of us have dissolved our partnership and will be continuing as Duran Duran without Andy, as we have reached a point in our relationship with him where there is an unworkable gulf between us and we can no longer effectively function together. Although obviously disappointed and saddened about this, we are excited about the next chapter of the Duran Duran story and look forward to seeing you all soon.

Simon, John, Nick and Roger

"Bugger" [V]

Yeah guys i got the news too. Totally sucked!!![:(]

Here's to Andy "f%@king" Taylor...

The wild boys are calling
On their way back from the fire
In august moon's surrender to
A dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail
Because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world

They tried to break us,
Looks like they'll try again

You got sirens for a welcome
There's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while
You're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory
Where is all you angels
Now the figureheads have fall
And lovers war with arrows over
Secrets they could tell

They tried to tame you
Looks like they'll try again

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine
