Simon Le Bon's Birthday Special

On this day - October 27, 2019 - fans worldwide, the Duran Duran family, and Simon Le Bon's family unite to celebrate the birthday boy.  Simon truly does not look his age at 61 years old.

I imagine his music, global travels, and performances keep him young at heart.

A look back at Simon's achievements -
- 3 Ivor Novello Awards
- Outstanding Contribution to British Music

Simon's tenure with Duran Duran -
- Auditioned in May 1980
- Came with a notebook filled with poems 
- The poems would later become tracks on DD albums.
- Initially - "try Duran Duran out for the summer"
- Landed a deal with EMI Records by December 1980

...Duran Duran history goes from there.

And so on this October 27, 2019, I offer my best wishes for Simon Le Bon's most Happy Birthday.
