Astronaut was released worldwide on 11 October When bass guitarist John Taylor left the band in , Le Bon and Rhodes remained as the only two members who had been with Duran Duran from the beginning of their recording career. In , Duran Duran released the covers album Thank You, and Le Bon had the chance to cover some of his favourite artists, Jim Morrison, Lou Reed and Elvis Costello , but the album was severely panned by critics from all quarters.
Le Bon described the event to Jam! Showbiz thusly: "If you're talking about name dropping, he's one of the biggest names you could drop, Pav-The-Man". Duran Duran had a resurgence in popularity in with The Wedding Album, featuring the top single "Ordinary World".
Several months into the extensive worldwide concert tour supporting this album, Le Bon suffered a torn vocal cord, and the tour was postponed for six weeks while he recovered. The track was released on 7" single in Italy that year. The group added guitarist Warren Cuccurullo and drummer Sterling Campbell and recorded the album Liberty , but the band's success had begun to wane in the late s. While Le Bon has been in Duran Duran for the band's entire recording history, he has also dabbled in solo outings.
After a break up with her, Le Bon wooed young fashion model Yasmin Parvaneh. Seeing her face in a magazine, he phoned her modelling agency to track her down and they married on 27 December While Duran Duran was on hiatus in , Le Bon drew media attention when his maxi yacht, Drum, lost its keel and capsized during the Fastnet race, just off Falmouth, along the southern coast of Cornwall. Before being rescued, Le Bon and other crew members were trapped under the boat, inside the hull, for forty minutes.
Despite the accident, Le Bon and Drum went on to participate in the Whitbread Round the World Race, coming in third overall in elapsed time. The band's first album, Duran Duran, was released in , and they quickly became famous as part of the New Romantic movement.
Three more albums followed in quick succession: Rio , Seven and the Ragged Tiger and the live album Arena Each album release was accompanied by heavy media promotion and a lengthy concert tour. By mid, the band were ready for a break. Le Bon's ex-girlfriend, Fiona Kemp a barmaid at the Rum Runner nightclub where Duran Duran were rehearsing , introduced him to the band in May , recommending him as a potential vocalist.
As band legend has it, he turned up for the audition wearing pink leopard-print trousers, and carrying a notebook containing a large collection of poems he had written—several of which would later become tracks on the early Duran Duran albums. In the early s, Simon Le Bon was engaged to his then longtime girlfriend, model-turned-actress Claire Stansfield.
He's looking shorter. He's definately not 6ft4. Right height for this guy. Check this video with Le bon and "Marcelo Tinelli" 1. The seem to have the same height. Baudo is still taller than most of the people he meets.
For example is about 5 cm taller than Fiorello who seems to be around barefoot. Baudo was at his peak 1, Is he cm now or was he cm peak? If you pay attention to the Sanremo vid you will notice that Lebon has very high heels. I am not sure that nowdays Lebon barefeet is taller than 72 years old Baudo. LeBon is near the showman Pippo Baudo 1,85 sure at his peak.
They seemed to be at the same height,but I think but I'm not sure that LeBon is cm taller. For me LeBon is from 1,85 to 1, If O'leary os 5ft 8 then Lebon is 6ft 2 easy. John looks taller because he is thinner. That's the truth folks. Simon is actually 1 inch taller than John. John's hair is just a little bit taller than Simon. Simon is 6ft 2. John is thinner and appears taller, but is not. I have meet them in person. He is slightly taller than his Bass player, JT who is about 6'.
John might appear to look taller on some occasions, but that is due to Simon's bad back and John's 3 " high hair. Simon also has a habit of standing with his legs three feet apart, which also makes him appear shorter than he is. John is slightly taller than Simon but it doesn't look that way because John has a slightly bent forward stance. And I beleive Taylor always looks an inch shorter then Lebon. Cassie Bradley. Amber Doig-Thorne. We want to be the band to dance to when the bomb drops.
That was the whole point in forming a band. Absolutely gorgeous girls. Simon Le Bon married on December 27 , More about the relationship In discussing his relationship, he is a married man.
