\n\tDuran Duran and Rodgers have a special hit-making relationship that dates back to 1984, when the New York City-born guitarist, producer and co-founder of seminal disco-era band Chic sprinkled gold dust on the band\u2019s Seven And The Ragged Tiger<\/em> opener \u201cThe Reflex.\u201d His contribution converted the song into a global smash, giving Duran Duran their first leader on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n\n

\n\tRodgers was a hero to the members of Duran Duran long before they got to work together, and their connection would stay tight through the years, including collaborations across multiple shows and studio projects, including \u201cWild Boys,\u201d plus the\u00a0Notorious<\/em>,\u00a0Astronaut<\/em>, Paper Gods<\/em>\u00a0albums and, most recently, 2023\u2019s Halloween-themed collection Danse Macabre.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n\tThe Rock Hall-inducted British band is locked in for a run of 2026 shows, including a residency next month at Bleaulive at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, arena and festival spots in North America and across Continental Europe, and a headline date July 5 at BTS Hyde Park.<\/p>\n
\n\tRodgers, too, has a busy itinerary in the months ahead with concerts booked for the U.K. and Europe, North America and elsewhere. <\/p>\n
\n\tDuran Duran is one of the great survivors from the early stages of the \u201880s, a period of music that was scythed by the time grunge made its move. Along the way, the band has collected every conceivable award, including the Brit Awards\u2019 Lifetime Achievement, two Ivor Novellos, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, two Grammy Awards, and,\u00a0in 2022, long-overdue induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In 2024, Le Bon was been named a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by\u00a0King Charles, a salute to his services to music and charity.<\/p>\n
\n\tDuran Duran\u2019s \u201cFree to Love\u201d featuring Nile Rodgers is due to drop April 23.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
