Duran Duran 2012 Miss Their Dogs While Touring

© Time Inc.
Singer Simon LeBon and guitarist John Taylor tell PEOPLE that leaving their pets behind in England as they tour the world is one of the hardest parts of the job. (aired July 9, 2012).

After all these years, John remains a specimen of complete male beauty. The fact that he loves chihuahuas only adds to the appeal.

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

Look at John's face when Simon talks about his animals. The look on his face is priceless...

[@gabrieladanesi7470]

And Simon's face at 1,20 🤣

[@Eden639]

Welcome to the Animal lover club. This makes them even more appealing. John is so good looking and my favorite bass player.

[@jadequeen6714]

John Taylor is soooo funny! I crack up all the time when I see him!

[@Tia619]

Omgosh, the way John says Chihuahua, lmao!

[@meganarmstrong3950]

that’s funny

[@Juki.227]

Qué dichosos esos perritos!!!

[@judyb1539]

Right??🤣

[@resa.walters]

Charming, the way John says 'chihuaua'. Of course, I'm so into him. I always wanted a 'chihuaua', and to name him 'bandito' 😂 My grandma had a cat named choo choo, kinda similar to 'chooch'. OMG, 'luigi' is an adorable name for that pug. 'Tinker is easier to call out than 'tinkler' 😂 which is why you're walking the dog in the park, right? 😂 Do Brits call it tinkling, though? OMG, my cat did the exact same thing, brought the teenist mouse inside! My father ordered him to drop it, and it scurried under the carpet. Luckily, my father grabbed it, and put it outside. The cat heard me calling him to dinner, and had a delimma, 'mouse or dinner.' whoops! 🤭

[@lorireece1970]

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

[@edwardh3020]

[@lisachamberlain4491]

The pets thing is really funny. And when people say that pets look like their owners. Well Simon and his pug definitely look alike. 😆

[@kymrakurinskas5482]

No. No he cannot.

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

John will continue to be hotter all throughout his 60s and 70s. He's that fine!

[@NCR5309]

[@danataube9571]

Had a great time watching this video about their pets. Simon had me laughing quite a bit after his details of all of his "zoo"! I have three dogs and a car too and it's nice to see someone describe in such detail their pets like I do.

My cat LanaBella loves to also bring me gifts-lizards, grasshoppers, and also, every once in a while hummingbirds!!! She is a Siamese mix!!! Love knowing that they love their pets too!!!

[@cetteheurebleue]

We need hummingbirds -they are pollinators, please find a way to control your cat's appetite for hummingbirds. They are gorgeous, delicate, precious creatures, so important to life on planet earth.

[@patriciaharrison]

musique bird she doesn't hurt them, I have saved both of them, funny how I have to rescue them, gently of course! Both were very beautiful birds!!!

[@cetteheurebleue]

Thank you for your update about LanaBella, I simply can't bear the thought of those miniature works of art being consumed by anything. Immense relief, thanks again for your reply!

[@JTforeverL]

@@cetteheurebleue They give you good luck. Make a wish when you see them.

[@cjhermsen1700]

I was the first, best and most enduring fan from my first video on MTV. I'm a trivia queen of fair knowledge who took great joy in knowing for quite a while where the name Duran Duran came from when no one else did. I just took it for granted that everyone had gone to the midnight movie one Friday and caught "Barbarella" the same as I did. I enjoyed that. I sadly believe I'll not get to live my dream of seeing "Da Guys"in concert. It may sound ridiculous to them, but in my life people can tell me,Wow you're a breast cancer survivor. To which I'd probably come back with, Yeah, but I never got to see Duran Duran live! lol Seen better times than right now, but I'm not running away. On nothings gonna bring me down, its just been one of those days. I'm not the only one reel ng this way. and I'm not sorry, not running away! That was my fight song before each chemotherapy treatment for six months and for all 33 radiation doses back to back in 2009!! Thanks so!much for the music that can transport me to a better place. Mmwwwaaahh!

[@tracymccowan4232]

Simon is not high here. He is always like that.

[@barbwalker1540]

pmsl how did Si ever keep a straight face when John was talking

[@nobodyknows6910]

He always listen carefully. Hahaha

[@Sol_Cabbie]

one of Simon's dogs, Cecil (the Boston Terrier), died on Feb. 2016 Tinka and Luigi are the last ones

[@aprildannette9820]

But I saw a picture the other day with all of them

[@aprildannette9820]

[@Sol_Cabbie]

Tinka and Luigi have Twitter profiles

[@aprildannettegosa5381]

Cecil is the Boston Terrier I am looking at him on twitter when someone said he had died and he is alive

[@patriciaharrison]

[@lisachamberlain4491]

John Taylor. My auntie got 2 New Chihuahuas. And they are snappy yappy little gits. Not my favourite kind of dog.

[@aprilhunter8268]

I love Duran Duran. They seem to get better and better looking. Simon Lebon is my favorite than Nick Rhodes.

[@MK-pz7ns]

Aw they are hilarious about their furry and feathered friends. They obviously love them very much. Quite the cliffhanger tho. What did Simon do to save the mouse lol? Omg..

[@aprildannettegosa5381]

I think the cat let the mouse loose Simon didn't need to rescue it LOL
