Lifelong fans and interested newcomers will love this stunning biography of Duran Duran by the best-selling author of Gold Dust Woman and Hammer of the Gods.
In Please Please Tell Me Now, best-selling rock biographer Stephen Davis tells the story of Duran Duran, the quintessential band of the 1980s. Their pretty boy looks made them the stars of fledgling MTV, but it was their brilliant musicianship that led to a string of number one hits. By the end of the decade, they had sold 60 million albums; today, they've sold over 100 million albums - and counting.
Davis traces their roots to the austere 1970s British malaise that spawned both the Sex Pistols and Duran Duran - two seemingly opposite music extremes. Handsome, British, and young, it was Duran Duran that headlined Live Aid, not Bob Dylan or Led Zeppelin. The band moved in the most glamorous circles: Nick Rhodes became close with Andy Warhol, Simon LeBon with Princess Diana, and John Taylor dated quintessential British bad girl Amanda De Cadanet. With timeless hits like "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Girls on Film", "Rio", "Save a Prayer", and the best-selling James Bond theme in the series' history, "A View to Kill", Duran Duran has cemented its legacy in the pop pantheon - and with a new album and a worldwide tour on the way, they show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Featuring exclusive interviews with the band, Please Please Tell Me Now offers a definitive account of one of the last untold sagas in rock and roll history - a treat for diehard fans, new admirers, and music lovers of any age.

Probably nothing new here for die hard fans. But who knows? And more casual fans well get a complete picture of the band that melded rock, pop, dance, fashion, and sex into multi-platinum record sales.
Loved it! A must for Duran fans

Lo único malo??? Que como la historia de la banda se sigue escribiendo, el libro, en el fondo, no tiene final... y tal vez exija.una actualización en 2028, cuando cumplan 50 años de carrera y contando.
Hartos detalles
