Duran Duran Frontman on the Secrets Behind the Band’s Enduring Longevity
Le Bon credits their strong relationship and connection with each other as a pivotal reason for why they remain strong nearly 50 years after forming in the late 1970s.
“We like each other, we like working together,” the vocalist told ITV News as cited by Far Out Magazine. We rely on each other for musical ideas as well. We split all the income equally; it doesn’t matter if you write something or if you don’t write on it, you get an equal share of the publishing.”
Moreover, he also highlighted the fairness and respect that they give to each other to prevent conflict.
