John Taylor of Duran Duran Tested Positive For COVID-19

John Taylor of Duran Duran has announced that he tested positive for COVID-19.

At the Duran Duran Facebook page John posted:

DEAR FRIENDS OF MINE after giving some thought to this, I have decided to share with you that I tested positive with the Corona Virus almost three weeks ago.

Perhaps I am a particularly robust 59 year old – I like to think I am – or was blessed with getting only a mild case of Covid 19 – but after a week or so of what I would describe as a ‘Turbo-charged Flu’, I came out of it feeling okay- although I must admit I didn’t mind the quarantine as it gave me the chance to really recover.

I am speaking out in answer to the enormous amount of fear being generated by the pandemic, some of it entirely justified, and my heart goes out to everyone who has had to deal with real loss and pain. But I want to let you know that it isn’t always a killer, and we can and will beat this thing.

Sending LOVE to all my Homies and Fans, in Italy šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹ particularly, the UK šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ and the US šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø and everywhere in the world I have been lucky enough to visit on my travels with DURAN DURAN.

Cannot wait to be back onstage again, sharing new music, love and joy. Stay safe, stay connected and get creative! Love John

I could go to a James Taylor show just for the stories. The man is a part of music history and is still around to tell the tales of how it all began. Like, for instance, being the first artist signed to Apple Records. James ā€œauditionedā€ for Apple with his song ā€˜Something In The Way She Movesā€™. "Paul went away and started the label and George went away and wrote the songā€, he said.
