My Take
Le Bon is, for me, the very image of 1980s glamour, the voice and face of Duran Duran at the height of new wave. From Bushey and the University of Birmingham to global stardom is a remarkable arc, and I'm struck by how much aesthetic conviction he carried onto every stage. Three Ivor Novello Awards and a 2024 MBE confirm he was never just a pretty frontman but a genuine craftsman of lyrics. Staying relevant for decades in a fickle business is no small feat. I have a real soft spot for performers who commit so fully to their own sense of style.
