内容简介

This is the first paperback edition of definitive and gripping biography of Duran Duran. This is the Duran Duran story, from their conceptual birth in Hollywood (Birmingham, England not LA) through to their current contemporary relevance influencing such acts as the "Dandy Warhols" and "Scissor Sisters", via encounters with Andy Warhol, cobras, pink flamingos, Liz Hurley, Cannes, cherry lipstick, Aston Martins, Sri Lanka, Studio 54, synthesizers, Chic, supermodels, Michael Jackson, Bono and a giant eyeball. From the songs and the videos, the hype and the awards, to the near-death experiences and the breakdowns, it's all here in resplendent rock 'n' roll glory. Author Steve Malins conducted over 50 interviews for the book as well as researching previously unseen interview transcripts with the band to create the first in-depth biography on this fascinating, glamour-loving art-pop group. "Notorious" also contains 16 pages of striking images provided by the band's official photographer, Denis O'Regan.
