Please, Please Tell Me Now

In Please, Please Tell Me Now, renowned rock biographer Stephen Davis tells the story of Duran Duran. Their good-kid looks made them stars, 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, more than 100 million. Davis traces his roots to the austere British malaise of the 1970s. Handsome, British and young, Duran Duran headlined the Live Aid concert and the band moved in the most glamorous circles: Nick Rhodes (keyboardist) became close to Andy Warhol and Princess Diana and John Taylor (bassist) dated the quintessential bad girl, Amanda De Cadanet. With timeless hits like "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Girls on film", "Save A Prayer" or the best-selling James Bond theme, "A View To a Kill". Featuring exclusive interviews with the band and never-before-published photos from their personal archives, this book offers the definitive account of one of the most important bands in music history.
