LONDON, UK (Duran Duran Fans Website) - Duran Duran played their first UK gig in 18 years and showed they have lost none of their old magic. The original line-up - Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Andy Taylor and Nick Rhodes - reunited for the comeback concert at the Forum in Kentish Town, North London last night. The band brought the house down with a string of classics including Rio, Save A Prayer, Is There Something I Should Know? and Hungry Like The Wolf. More than 200,000 people had flooded the phone lines when details of the surprise gig were announced last week. All 2,000 tickets sold out in just four minutes in scenes reminiscent of the group's 80s heyday. The band, who have sold 60 million records during their career, are on the comeback trail. They will also appear at the Fashion Rocks event at the Royal Albert Hall along with Robbie Williams, who they are supporting on his Australian tour. The band is returning to the studio in December to put the finishing touches to their new album, which is set to release next summer.
