  ❤ You have to respect the band splitting their income evenly. That’s beautiful.

  I went to school with Simon and remember a little group of us 16 year olds sitting outside the school gym in the sunshine discussing what we wanted to do with our lives.  Simon said he was going to be a Star.  He certainly achieved his ambition!

  I met Simon in 2004 at the Superbowl. He was so amazing! I could barely speak! My favorite group of all time...from the time I was 11 years old...now I'm almost 53! Sometimes, when you meet one of your idols, you end up disappointed. That could not have been further from the truth, meeting Simon. He was so wonderful! He made my friends and I feel like we were the only people at the party! I told him that I had just taken my daughter to see DD. He was so gracious. So lovely! I was a huge Princess Diana fan. She was my other idol growing up. It's funny how they were connected and how DD was her favorite band, as well! I just adore Duran Duran...Best band of all time! ♥🧑‍🎤🎤🎸

  I've been a Duranie since they came on the scene in 1981 and Simon has always been a humanist. A great interview.

  I was a shy little black girl from Indiana when Hungry Like the Wolf music started going rotation on MTV in1983. There were only a few black people on MTV at that time; Michael Jackson, Prince, Tina Turner, and Shelia Ming, the beautiful model in the video. I became a music photographer due to the love of music, and visuals. Thank you Duran Duran:)

  Saw Duran Duran in the 80s. I've been following them for 40 years and they're still in my top 3 best bands. I just watched their music 2 days ago on YouTube and have their last CD in my car. So happy to see they've shared the proceeds equally because they're all so integral. Love Simon Le Bon, I still have a major crush on him. 💖💗💖

  I&apos;m not sure how much Simon is aware of the importance of his words:&quot; ‘We’re willing to sacrifice our egos for the good of the band’ felt like giving the guy a huge hug,<br> I love this interview!! we get to know Simon Le Bon in his prime a wise man mature, humble, open-minded spiritual and deep I respect him even more now than ever, &nbsp;<br>well-spoken Simon and well done for you and the rest of Duran Duran setting an example for a good value and positive attitude.

  I sure miss those teen years sometimes, the freedom to just be, to listen to so many cool bands. Now at 52, I look back and have such great appreciation for the best music ever!

  I met Simon by accident at Heathrow airport terminal 4 in 1986. He was an absolute Gentleman. A really nice guy
