After launching a much-hyped reunion with all five original members, new wave pioneers Duran Duran have announced that guitarist Andy Taylor is once again leaving the band, just as he did in 1985.
In a message posted on their MySpace page, Duran Duran state:
"We know that there has been a tremendous amount of speculation over the past few weeks regarding Andy Taylor's continued involvement with the band and we are sorry that we've been unable to provide you with more information until now. The past five years have been an incredible journey for us all - and having the original five back together was something that we had wanted to see happen for some time. As of last weekend, however, the four of us have dissolved our partnership and will be continuing as Duran Duran without Andy, as we have reached a point in our relationship with him where there is an unworkable gulf between us and we can no longer effectively function together. Although obviously disappointed and saddened about this, we are excited about the next chapter of the Duran Duran story and look forward to seeing you all soon."
No word yet as to whether former Missing Persons guitarist Warren Cuccurullo--who was Duran Duran's official guitarist from 1993 to 2001--will return to fill Andy Taylor's vacated spot.
