What has been going on with Duran Duran? As always, I try to summarize all of the official Duran Duran news here! If I have forgotten something, let me know!

On Thursday, Duran Duran played their show to benefit the War Child charity in London. The setlist was as follows, according to DuranDuranMusic:

By now, most of you have probably seen pictures and video clips. I definitely recommend checking out Duran Duran’s Facebook page for some exclusive photos, including some VERY nice JoSi pictures, courtesy of Gaëlle Beri. Here are a couple of clips from YouTube that made me feel a little like I was there:
If you find other videos that you liked from the show, please share!
Of course, there were also reviews of the show, too. Here are a couple of articles:
The Telegraph (This one makes a reference to John Taylor’s hat. Does he look like an Amish farmer to you?!)
Oscar Focused Katy Kafe
This week also featured a Katy Kafe with Nick and Katy discussing films and making their Oscar picks. You can listen to it here. Since the Academy Awards are on tonight, perhaps, you want to listen to it first to see how accurate they are with their predictions!
Mr Hudson
Speaking of exclusive features on DuranDuranMusic, besides including the full Katy Kafe with Nick on the Oscars, they also published an interview with Mr Hudson here. It might provide some insight into #DD14.
Rehearsal Pictures
Of course, earlier in the week, Duran Duran’s social media posted some pictures from the band’s rehearsal as they got ready for the War Child show. Those pictures definitely made those going super excited for the show and the rest of us hoping to see our own shows soon!
I think that’s it. If not, what did I miss?!
