There are just some lead singers that are synonymous with their groups. Simon is one of those. i agree with that. i think the core elements that make up duran must include simon and nick. pop trash was the worst it could get and still be called duran duran with any dignity and people laughed at and/or questioned that after john left. of course in a perfect world it's all 5 but losing simon would be a crippling blow to the band.

I'd rather have them bring back Andy to sing lead then have to listen to John....sorry. ...not that I think that would work either, but you have a point. Andy is closer to Simon's vocal range than John would ever be. While I agree with Andy's vocal abilities probably being better suited, I do think John could handle it as well, at least, in a live setting. forgive me for not knowing this, hasn't he already covered Rio and HBTR as part of his solo tours?

Just like Inxs isn't w/out Michael. Sorry, the new guy is good but can't replace Michael. Simon is DD. When I first heard Arcadia, I thought it was actually a new Duran album and that the split was a rumor. LONG LIVE SIMON!!!
