Inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

In 2022, the band topped the fan vote (over 1 million preferences) for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the class of 2022, and in May of that year were announced as one of the seven inductees in the “Performer” category. On 11 July 2022, Duran Duran headlined a concert in Hyde Park, London, to more than 80,000 adoring fans, as part of the 2022 BST concert series. The ceremony at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was held on 5 November 2022, where Robert Downey Jr. inducted the band. John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Rhodes and Le Bon each attended the induction ceremony and performed “Girls on Film”, “Hungry Like the Wolf” and “Ordinary World” along with longtime touring guitarist Dom Brown . During the acceptance speech, Simon Le Bon read from a letter written by Andy Taylor, who was absent from the ceremony, that revealed he has been privately fighting stage IV metastatic prostate cancer for the past four years and was “massively disappointed” he couldn’t attend.
