Wait what? Did Simon confirm he is drinking too much or is this one of your assumed truths again? 🤷🏼♂️ Every event I see him with family and friends he constantly has a drink in his hand.. go see when he was on island on holiday with family and got up to sing HLTW with resident guitar player .. he was sloshed.. When he was in LA for DD promo work he constantly had a drink in his hand …every single social event.. To each his own, but gaining weight from drinking is like the # 1 cause of gaining weight..not to mention that booze all the time is not great for the heart or liver…it’s an observation.. video doesn’t lie…key is moderation…Simon cuts the booze he will easily control his weight .. not brain science.. DD on holiday or any Rockstar is not like us going on holiday a few times a year.. they are always on holiday.. Remember too.. a rockstars life is not like the avg person.. being in their 60’s is like being in the avg person’s 80’s .. hence why many rockstars pass in their early 60’s.. I loved it when Simon worked out and had a trainer .. I doubt he is doing that these days…he looked and sounded great during the Astronaut tour… opposite spectrum is Vince Neil.. my money is that Motley will not finish the upcoming summer stadium tour.. You make it seem like the guy has a drinking problem. There’s no way you can infer something like that based only on some pics of social events. Also, Simon has always had weight problems. Even in the early years. He probably has an endomorph body type so he has to move more and eat less than the average person. Plus, I bet he (like most of us) carries a lot of overweight due to quarantine.

I never said he had a drinking problem .. but every picture every video AFTER Covid he has a drink in his hands… he was pretty much drunk when he got up to sing HLTw on holiday…. Many on this board and not just me want a healthy Simon… his weight gain IMO is based on his drinking habits …we all want a healthy Simon ….I know too many friends and family personally that have lost their lives at a young age because of alcohol…

But it is his own personal business.

Every photo and every video post covid I see that has Simon in it and he does NOT have a drink in his hands in those photos or videos. Therefore, I think we can assume that his weight gain is NOT due to his drinking, because it’s the photos on the internet that determine whether or not a persons weight gain is due to drinking in photos.
Stay healthy Simon!!!

Stay healthy Simon!!! I suggest you go back to all the photos and video when he was in LA...the stip mall in Malibu he had a pint in his hand raising it up with Nick Wood....so right there you are wrong! There were many posted on Instagram and FB by many fans--here is one precovid...when he was in LA back in early April he was at every restaurant and bar with a drink in his hands or next to him on the table. There is a pic of him meeting Nick Wood at a strip mall and he is drinking a pint raising it up...as a matter of fact he and Nick are always drinking a pint when they meet up! Possibly a tradition among them? The one in Spain/Ibizia has the short version--there is a long version out there and he had a drink in his hands...I will try and find them--I saw them and will post them when I have time... If you look closely on the table by Simon there is a glass with most likely whiskey or adult beverage! Clearly he was inebriated when he went up to sing HLTW! societyofrock.com/watch-duran-durans-simon-le-bon-surprise-fans-with-performance/Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

Very sad news indeed, I've always loved Depeche Mode. I've been thinking a lot about mortality lately and one of the reasons I wanted DD tickets was because I just have a bad feeling that within a few years one member will be gone. Just a hunch and nothing set in stone, just looking at statistics of bands. Someone on YouTube posted a video of every musician who died in 2021 and many flew under the radar. For example, several bands lost two members and there was a band that literally lost their last three living members last year (name escapes me now). There are bands where no living member exists anymore. Yes many are older, but when you see this in the 70s and later acts then yes you realize mortality is something everyone faces. I personally never thought of any of it until I lost my mom unexpectedly in 2017 and realize it only takes a second to change.

Bizarre, duran duran's official Facebook page had a large black and white picture up of Fletch, simply saying RIP Fletch. It was literally up for 1 minute then disappeared. It was probably put up by Katy and potentially taken down as one of the band members might do a tribute (jt is v friendly with Dave) think the pic was posted just before or after they went on stage in Norway. Maybe because of this -
