Simon Le Bon To Perform With Timbaland At The Sound Of Change Live Concert Twickenham Stadium on June 1

Presented by CHIME FOR CHANGE, Founded by Gucci

London 30 May 2013: It was announced today that Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon will join his friend Timbaland for a special performance at Saturday's THE SOUND OF CHANGE LIVE CONCERT presented by CHIME FOR CHANGE.

Simon Le Bon said: "In the year which marks the centenary of the Suffragette Movement, I am excited to be a performer at the Twickenham CHIME FOR CHANGE show this Saturday. As a man, raised by a strong, inspirational woman, and the father of three determined daughters, I unreservedly support women's rights and the drive for equality world wide. So prick up your ears, because Chime is coming to town."

This is the first time that Simon and Timbaland have performed together live, although a hologram of Timbaland performing was used as part of Duran Duran's Red Carpet Massacre tour. Timbaland was a featured performer on a couple of the tracks ("Nite Runner" and "Skin Divers"), as well as co-writing with the band on their highly successful Red Carpet Massacre studio album.

The only people that will read that are fans well aware of the fact that RCM tanked like the Titanic.




It doesn't help advance women's rights when Wendy allows shit like that to slide through.

[duranietillrcm]

Why in the fuck are they resurrecting that shit? It didn't work the first time, are they really so fucked in the head that they think it's a good idea to try it again? Seems to me like this is being used to gauge the fan reaction to it.

I can tell you THIS fan's reaction.... FUCK YOU!

[Klingoncelt]

The whole article was so badly written that I had to edit it. If I were in DD Inc.'s front office, I'd makle damn sure copy passed muster before it got published. Jeez.

And Timbabland? I thought that deadbeat "retired" 4 years ago. Then again, none of the performers are exactly headliners, outside of Beyonce.

I'm sure the moos, the women that give womanhood a bad name, will be happy about it. It'll give them a reason to resurrect all those "Night Runner Should Be The Next Single!" threads.

[duranietillrcm]

Almost makes me want to sell off my vinyl collection again... almost, but not quite.

[Klingoncelt]

Nah, don't sell the vinyl over this. Timba will fade back into obscurity by the next day.

[duranietillrcm]

As long as they don't talk about making another album with the moron, I think it's OK.

[Klingoncelt]

I doubt they'll make that mistake again. Seriously, I think John would threaten to leave the band if they did that.

[duranietillrcm]

Maybe John would be better off if he did. I'd like to see him make more solo albums again.

[Klingoncelt]

Yeah, that would be nice. I liked his solo stuff. Maybe he'll do one again someday. I hope so.

[duranietillrcm]

I have all his albums, but I think Feelings R Good is the best, it's the most raw and underproduced. That made it sound great. Plus, it's the first CD I ever bought, because I couldn't get the damn thing on cassette when it came out.

[Klingoncelt]

I agree, I think it's the best, too. I wish DD would release something like that. It certainly has stood the test of time.

[duranietillrcm]

I liked Losing You the most I think.

If I ever won a huge lottery, I'd pay him to play that song during a DD concert.

[Klingoncelt]

If I could afford a private show I'd have them do only Power Station, Arcadia, and solo songs.

[duranietillrcm]

It's too bad that Robert isn't around to be able to be there for the PS songs though.
