As a diehard fan of Duran Duran for many many years now (over 20) I found out that Andy Taylor is coming out with a new book this year. It is called "Wild Boy: My Life In Duran Duran" and comes out this fall. It is an inside account of the rise and fall of Duran Duran told from Andy's point of view. He goes into detail about Duran Duran's alleged use of drugs and hedonism in their earlier years and also about the pressures of fame that he dealt with and how they affected him on a personal level. I am going to get this book to see what he has to say about them. I don't know if the other members will like what he has to say or not, I guess we will wait and see. It should be interesting...

For some reason I can not find this book at any of my local bookstores:( I'm a mega Duran Duran fan and I have to have this book!..LOL.. I guess I'm only left with buying this online or request this book from everyone I know for Christmas. My husband also tried to find this book locally for me for my birthday a few weeks ago and he couldn't find it also. Has anyone read this book yet? Does Andy spill the beans about why he quit the band twice? I hope the other members of Duran Duran write a book as well.

I am asking for this for Christmas as I have not gotten a chance to get it yet! I can't wait to read it. It should be interesting. I do wish the others would write a book too though. Andy was never my favorite in the band anyways so I am not that crushed about him leaving either time. I think that maybe he thinks he is better than the band or something. If that is the case, whatever dude! You can get it at Amazon.com though. That is where I heard about it. Thanks for your comment and have a nice day!

This is embarrassing but no, I still haven't ordered it yet. I forgot about it again! Maybe I'll order it for myself as a Christmas present.

I didn't know he was a writer. It doesn't matter if the other members of Duran Duran like what he wrote, it is publicity after all.

Yep, it will keep their name in the news which is a good thing as I love them still to this day and want to keep them known.

No, I haven't ordered it yet. I forgot about it! Can you believe that? Now, I have to go to Amazon.com and place an order. Thanks for reminding me! By the way, have you gotten it yet, if you did - how is it so far?

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. It makes a great Christmas gift. My wife is a fan also (it's how we met) and so I bought it for her off of Amazon.
