DURAN DURAN WELCOMES THE KILLERS TO THEIR ‘RED CARPET MASSACRE’
Planet Earth shook strongly when DURAN DURAN—currently touring in support of their 12th studio album RED CARPET MASSACRE—was joined by BRANDON FLOWERS and DAVE KEUNING (lead singer and guitarist of THE KILLERS, respectively) for a special encore performance of DURAN DURAN’s classic “Planet Earth” Friday, May 9 in Las Vegas at The Joint (Hard Rock Hotel). Cheering them on in the crowd were MAYNARD KEENAN from Tool and DAVEY HAVOK of AFI. DURAN DURAN wraps their U.S. tour with two shows at NYC’s Central Park Summerstage May 30 and 31. Next, they head overseas with an itinerary that includes four arena shows in their native U.K. (July 3-7) plus an exclusive unique live set July 2 at La Cigale, Paris with red-hot producer/artist MARK RONSON as part of the Smirnoff Experience. DURAN DURAN—SIMON LEBON, NICK RHODES, JOHN TAYLOR and ROGER TAYLOR—and Ronson will showcase specially re-worked versions of some of the band’s classic hits created by Ronson, along with tracks from their critically hailed RED CARPET MASSACRE. Ronson & the Version Players will also be bringing Mark’s acclaimed live show to the event, performing songs from his hit album, Version. LeBon will bring his vocal magic to Mark’s music as one of his featured guest vocalists.
