Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor did not attend the band’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame over the weekend at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles because he has stage 4 prostate cancer.
Taylor revealed the diagnosis in a letter that lead singer Simon Le Bon read part of during the ceremony.
“I have the Rodgers and Edwards of doctors and medical treatment that until very recently allowed me to just rock on. Although my current condition is not immediately life threatening there is no cure. Recently I was doing okay after some very sophisticated life extending treatment, that was until a week or so ago when I suffered a setback, and despite the exceptional efforts of my team, I had to be honest in that both physically and mentally, I would be pushing my boundaries.
“However, none of this needs to or should detract from what this band has achieved and sustained for 44 years,” he wrote.
