Rock biographer Stephen Davis tells the story of Duran Duran, the quintessential band of the 1980s. Their pretty boy looks made them the stars of fledgling MTV, but it was their brilliant musicianship that led to a string of number one hits. By the end of the decade, they had sold 60 million albums; today, they've sold over 100 million albums - and counting. Davis traces their roots to the austere 1970s British malaise that spawned both the Sex Pistols and Duran Duran - two seemingly opposite music extremes. Featuring exclusive interviews with the band and never-before-published photos from personal archives, this title offers a definitive account of one of the last untold sagas in rock and roll history - a treat for diehard fans, new admirers, and music lovers of any age.
