Duran Duran star John Taylor turns 60 on Saturday

(19 Jun 2020) DURAN DURAN START JOHN TAYLOR TURNS 60 ON SATURDAY
John Taylor, bass guitarist and founding member of Duran Duran, celebrates his 60th birthday on Saturday 20th June.
Taylor founded Duran Duran in the late 1970's with his childhood friend, Nick Rhodes (keyboards.) Within two years they were joined by Simon Le Bon (lead vocals), Roger Taylor (drums) and Andy Taylor (guitar).
The band's debut album, "Duran Duran," was released in 1981, reaching number three in the U.K. charts, with first single "Planet Earth" breaking into the U.K. Top 20 at number 12.
But it was "Girls on Film," the band's third single, that grabbed everyone's attention - shooting to number five in the charts.
The group continued to enjoy success throughout the '80s, '90s and '00s, and have recorded 14 studio albums to date.
Taylor left Duran Duran in 1997 to pursue a solo music career; the band reformed in 2001.
The musican has been married twice: to Amanda De Cadenet, between 1991 and 1995, with whom he has a daughter; and to fashion designer and former actress, Gela Nash, since 1999.

Sad that "ANDY "never is in attendance with the boys😔

[@heatherhillman1]

Andy left the band in 2006. That's why you never see him with "the boys".
