You can dream about what happened to us but to experience it, on one’s own terms, as mates, was beyond incredible,” Taylor wrote in the message relayed by Le Bon.

Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor was not able to attend Saturday night's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, where the band was honored, due to a setback in a stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis, according to a statement from the English band. "Just over 4-years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer," the letter read. "Recently I was doing okay after some very sophisticated life extending treatment, that was until a week or so ago when I suffered a setback," Taylor wrote. Taylor said it was an honor to even be nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, let alone inducted, and addressed his bandmates of 44 years as his brothers. Duran Duran was the first act inducted at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles Saturday night.

Duran Duran stumbled but stayed sophisticated. The four acts found very different ways to celebrate on Saturday night, but all can now forever say they’re Rock & Roll Hall of Famers. “Rock & Roll is not a color,” he said. “One, I know, is that I’m a rapper and this is the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.”He’s only the 10th hip-hop artist among well over 300 members of the Hall of Fame. “I‘ve been rockin’ rockin’ rockin’ rockin’ since the day I was born,” she sang, “and I’ll be rockin’ to the day I’m gone.”She closed the night leading an all-star jam of her fellow inductees on her country classic “Jolene.” Le Bon, Benatar and even Judas Priest singer Rob Halford took a verse.
