I believe Instant Karma was the last thing they recorded together and it was awesome!

It's blown up a bit as "Duran Duran recording new album with Andy Taylor" in sections of the media. The truth is likely to be less exciting with Andy guesting on one or two tracks of a project. And this won't be a full new album in the traditional sense. We've already been told that there will be several covers, and that Simon and Andy will be working together in Ibiza.
So there's going to be no five of them jamming and experimenting as the genesis of new songs for a new album, writing together as a five-piece.
We already know how DD operate, and they do not nip in and out of the studio to work on a new original album when they are touring. We know the cycle: writing, recording, mixing, promoting, touring, resting...
So what is it then? It's probably a development of the Hallowe'en album idea which has been repurposed as a final showcase for DD+AT, so perhaps expect some covers and reworkings with AT adding guitar parts to some tracks mostly remotely, but with some direct collaboration with SLB.
The best we can perhaps hope for is that they choose to polish off what they feel is the best of Reportage, and the SLB and AT work goes really well to inspire a full DD writing reunion for a couple of brand new songs.
Who knows? We really have to wait for official DD comments to know for sure what the intention is.

I bet we get all of Reportage…the best 2-3 tracks on the initial release, another 2 bonus tracks on the WalMart Special Edition, plus 2 different bonus tracks on the Cumberland Farms* Deluxe Edition, an acoustic version plus 1 other different bonus track on the Neil’s Donuts** Extra Special MaxiVersion, and of course a remix of a previously released bonus track on the RSD 2025 version.***
*A gas station/ convenience store chain in the US
**Best local donut shop in the Wallingford, CT area
***And yes, I would buy every f***ing one of these, even the stupid vinyl.

As long as I am very happy for a possible Andy's partecipation to next DD's album, I will believe it when it is confirmed by an official statement. Who knows what John really said at that Unforgettable Evening in LA... frankly speaking I don't trust newspapers as a reliable source. I find also strange that only Simon is flying to Ibiza to work with Andy. I think it's bizarre that the other 3 would not want to work physically with Andy for a last time, considering his health situation. So, I take everything with hope it is true but with a bit of skeptical attitude. ….Perhaps Andy is limiting contact to avoid getting sick.

Anyone else cringing at the poor research in the journalism? First new music from Duran Duran after a 30 year hiatus? Lolwut.
30 years ago DD were bothering the charts with the likes of Ordinary World and Come Undone, nothing to do with AT, and obviously there's been numerous albums since then. FFS.
All of which should be a warning about what to expect if taking the headlines at face value.

Yes, I’d take with a grain of salt. A U.K. tabloid has an exclusive based on JT’s comments, and the other outlets have ran with it.
My friend is dealing with an another U.K. tabloid which has published entirely incorrect info on her story.
I am cautiously optimistic but wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t happen or happens very differently from what is expected.

Best of reportage and a few covers? Going in studio is very painful (as it is for a-ha), som i guess writing something new with Nick /DD will be very painful for Andy.. so Simon is the only member with direct contact!
The halloween album on ice?
