When 19-year-old Andy Taylor returned from his band's tour in Germany, he seized an opportunity after seeing an ad for a 'live wire guitarist' in Birmingham. This led to the formation of Duran Duran, which released its first single, 'Planet Earth,' just ten months later, quickly rising to become one of the biggest bands since the Beatles. As pioneers of the New Romantic movement, Duran Duran defined the consumerist 1980s with their iconic videos and fashion. They attracted a diverse fanbase, including rock enthusiasts and even Princess Diana, and produced massive hits like 'Rio,' 'The Reflex,' and 'A View to a Kill,' earning Grammys and an Ivor Novello award. By 1985, they reached the height of their fame at Live Aid, only to face internal struggles that led to the band's decline. Central to their sound was lead guitarist Andy Taylor, who shares his candid memoir detailing the exhilarating highs and tumultuous lows of this extraordinary period. Behind the polished image lay a world of wild parties and youthful excess, as the band embraced every opportunity. This memoir offers fans an insider's perspective on the band's journey and the realities of rock stardom during a transformative era.
