Birmingham band Duran Duran were formed more than four decades and they have sold millions of records and amassed millions of fans during that time. They are one of the best selling artists in the world.
They are loved by many famous people too. While many of the celebrities grew up listening to the band some were lucky enough to watch the band rise to fame when they were younger. Some of the famous fans even turned collaborators later and despite the band being formed in 1978 - it continues to grow in fame, with American singer Adam Lambert releasing a cover of Duran Duran’s ‘Ordinary World’ along with an atmospheric video ahead of his forthcoming new album High Drama.
They are still touring and performing and their shows are sold out. They will go on their latest tour - Future Past - in 2023 and many famous fans might show up to their concerts as well.
The band is well loved across the world. Here are nine Hollywood celebrities who loved the band:
