[glow=red,2,300]DURAN DURAN live DVD release[/glow]
Ready for takeoff
"Pop vets kick off world tour next month, release live DVD"
Duran Duran are set to launch the forty-date U.S. leg of their world tour in support of their new album, Astronaut, on February 11th in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The tour will wrap up on April 13th in New York City.
The October release of Astronaut marked the first time the band's original lineup -- singer Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, guitarist Andy Taylor and bassist John Taylor -- had collaborated since the 1985 "View to a Kill" single. "We were like, 'We can still do this! After fifteen some years! How exciting!'" says Le Bon of the recording process.
Astronaut went on to become the group's highest debut since 1983's Seven and the Ragged Tiger, selling 54,000 to reach Number Seventeen.
The group will also release a live CD/DVD in the spring, featuring the group's final, sold-out show at London's Wembley Arena last May 2004. The discs will draw on Duran Duran's hits, as well as Astronaut material, and include backstage footage and interviews.
