Book Description
Lifelong fans and interested newcomers will love this stunning biography of Duran Duran by the bestselling author of Gold Dust Woman and Hammer of the Gods. In Please Please Tell Me Now, bestselling 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. Handsome, British, and young, it was Duran Duran that headlined Live Aid, not Bob Dylan or Led Zeppelin. The band moved in the most glamorous circles: Nick Rhodes became close with Andy Warhol, Simon LeBon with Princess Diana, and John Taylor dated quintessential British bad girl Amanda De Cadanet. With timeless hits like "Hungry Like the Wolf," "Girls on Film," "Rio," "Save a Prayer," and the bestselling James Bond theme in the series' history, "A View to Kill," Duran Duran has cemented its legacy in the pop pantheon—and with a new album and a worldwide tour on the way, they show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Featuring exclusive interviews with the band and never-before-published photos from personal archives, Please Please Tell Me Now 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.

Book Description
La historia de la icónica banda de los 80, Duran Duran, uno de los grupos de más éxito comercial, con más de 100 millones de discos vendidos. En Please, Please Tell Me Now, el reconocido biógrafo de rock Stephen Davis cuenta la historia de Duran Duran. Su apariencia de niños buenos les convirtió en estrellas, pero fue su brillante maestría musical lo que los llevó a una serie de éxitos número uno. A finales de la década habían vendido 60 millones de álbumes; a día de hoy, más de 100 millones. Davis remonta sus raíces al austero malestar británico de la década de los 70. Guapos, británicos y jóvenes, Duran Duran fueron quienes encabezaron el concierto Live Aid y la banda se movía en los círculos más glamurosos: Nick Rhodes (teclista) se hizo cercano a Andy Warhol y a la princesa Diana y John Taylor (bajista) salió con la chica mala por excelencia, Amanda De Cadanet. Con éxitos atemporales como «Hungry Like the Wolf», «Girls on film», «Save A Prayer» o el tema más vendido de James Bond, «A View To a Kill».
