The Duran Duran bassist revealed on social media on April 6 that he had contracted coronavirus three weeks ago, and had since recovered.

In a message of hope to the band's fans, Taylor said on Facebook: "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."
