Duran Duran confirm John’s involvement on their new album
After we published two blurbs from Japanese guitar magazine, rumours have been going around the Internet about the second, more interesting one – that John said he would be playing on Duran Duran’s as-of-now untitled new album.
So, last night, Duran Duran confirmed this by posting the following on their news blog:
DURAN DURAN WORKS WITH JOHN FRUSCIANTE
April 23rd, 2014
We were holding this exciting news because we were hoping to give you full details when we announced, but as word has leaked out, catching us rather off guard, we wanted to confirm… yes it’s true, the extraordinarily talented John Frusciante has indeed been doing some work from his home base in California on our new album. The tracks have been going back and forth via the internet, and we are thrilled with the results. We are all such big fans of John’s work and are honoured to have him adding his magic to the record! There are no current plans for John to tour with us, but his guitars sound incredible on the tracks.Hoping to have more news for you soon.
– Simon, John, Nick & Roger
