Birmingham band Duran Duran are set to return to their home city for their Future Past tour next month.
Duran Duran may have started in the 1980s but their star is still peaking. 2022 was a landmark year for them as they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, headlined London’s Hyde Park, performed at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace, and performed at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in their home town.
The band has performed to sold out shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden and three nights at the Hollywood Bowl, and also released a new docu-concert film, ‘A Hollywood High’.
Their wild success - decades since they started off - has been because of their millions of fans, including some famous fans, from all over the world. From collaborations to friendships to partying together - Duran Duran keeps their famous fans close.
Here are 11 celebrities who continue to love the band:
