If the band makes it into the Hall of Fame, it could lead to a reunion with estranged guitarists Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo
The Hall of Fame nominated the original lineup of Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, bassist John Taylor, drummer Roger Taylor, guitarist Andy Taylor, and Nineties-era guitarist Warren Cuccurullo. There are many other latter-day members who didn’t get the nod, but Cuccurullo played a crucial role in the creation of the band’s 1993 hits “Ordinary World” and “Come Undone.
That could change later this year if Duran Duran enter the Hall of Fame. “There’s no way I’d be sitting here talking to you if it wasn’t for the the incredible artistic contributions of both Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo,” Le Bon said on SiriusXM the morning the Hall of Fame news broke. “If we get through, it would be great to get onstage with them again.”
The dream scenario is that the original five-piece band starts the set with early classics like “Planet Earth” and “Hungry Like the Wolf” before Cuccurullo comes out for “Ordinary World” and “Come Undone.” It sounds like fan fiction, but over the years the Hall of Fame has reunited Led Zeppelin, Talking Heads, Cream, the Police, Simon and Garfunkel, and the two warring factions of Yes.
