“I was blown away by the dedication and the application and the sheer determination of our fans and everybody else who voted for us, keeping us in that No. 1 slot for almost the entirety of the public vote,” lead singer Simon Le Bon, 63, said via Zoom.
Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon and John Taylor had a brush with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 2019, when they inducted Roxy Music during the ceremony in Brooklyn.
“I was blown away by the dedication and the application and the sheer determination of our fans and everybody else who voted for us, keeping us in that No. 1 slot for almost the entirety of the public vote,” Le Bon, 63, said via Zoom from Sicily during the European leg of the band’s world tour supporting its latest album, “Future Past.
“I think we are a significant band in the history of popular music,” Le Bon maintains. “I’ve listened to some debates about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, what it means to people, and some people think it should just be there for, like, blues artists, guitar bands and ‘rock and rollers.’ I just don’t think that’s realistic, personally. I think it’s got bigger than that.
