Duran Duran stumbles, Pat Benatar roars into Rock Hall
LOS ANGELES — (AP) — Duran Duran stumbled into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The band was all but inaudible other than singer Simon Le Bon, whose vocals were essentially acapella. “The wonderful spontaneous world of rock ‘n’ roll!” the 64-year-old Le Bon shouted as the band stopped for a do-over. “I’m truly sorry and massively disappointed I couldn’t make it,” Taylor said in a letter read by Le Bon. He closed it by declaring, “We live for heavy metal, we live for music, and we live for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.”___Follow AP Entertainment Writer on Twitter: https://twitter.com/andyjamesdaltonCopyright 2022 The Associated Press.
