Although Andy Taylor Duran Duran left in 2006, but his former colleagues continued to support him – especially since he had known his prostate cancer diagnosis.
Now the British have on Thursday (February 13th) at one Appearance at the Sanremo Music Festival in Italy An update to Andy Taylor’s fight against cancer announced. Accordingly, he continues to fight bravely against the metastatic cancer, which is terminally.
At the press conference, singer Simon Le Bon said before the music event: “I am sure that he would like to be here. As you probably know, he has prostate cancer. It is a very late stage, metastatic cancer in the fourth stage. He fights as best he can, and we are in this fight. ”
Duran Duran stick together
Le Bon continues: “There is something between us that holds us together. First of all, we love the music we make together. Nobody else makes music like us. We all tried to do things alone, and it’s just not as exciting as when we come together and work. We make each other laugh and I think that is very important in a long relationship. (…) We also divide all income evenly. “
Andy Taylor played with Duran Duran again and again between 1980 and 2006 and was supposed to come back with them last year when they were included in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but a setback in his treatment forced him to do without the event.
In 2023, the musicians organized a benefit concert for the guitarist. The proceeds from the show benefited from the British charity organization “Cancer Awareness Trust”. This collects money for the fight against cancer. She also helps develop special treatments that could extend the life of patients like Andy Taylor.
