Duran Duran’s Andy Taylor gives rare health update after being told he needed ‘end-of-life care’

DURAN Duran’s Andy Taylor says he now has no cancer symptoms — after being told he needed “end-of-life care”.

The guitarist, 62, was diagnosed with stage-four prostate cancer in 2018.

But Taylor told how a medical intervention has “got his life back”.

He has been treated by top scientist Christopher Evans, who he called the “Elon Musk of cancer”.

The treatment involves radioactive chemicals pumped into his blood — leaving the star “radioactive for several days”.

Taylor, on to his second round of the treatment, told The Times: “I’m asymptomatic.

“It has the potential to kill all the cancer, but because it’s stage four it’s still non-curative. I got my life back. But staying alive is a full-time business.”

The musician releases his third solo album, Man’s A Wolf To Man, next month.

After forming in Birmingham in 1978, Duran Duran were one of the biggest acts of the 1980s, with hits including Rio, The Wild Boys and Bond theme A View To A Kill.

The group released their 15th studio album, Future Past, in 2021 and are currently touring North America with special guests Nile Rodgers and Chic, and Bastille.
