Everybody knows by now that Duran Duran had to cancel some European dates.
THe New Romantics would like to thank their fans for the love and support that they have given the band members over the past few weeks, since the announcement that they had to postpone their UK tour, and the first few European dates to accommodate Simon’s recent vocal problems.
The band were incredibly disappointed, as they had been looking forward to these shows for months and working hard to make them something really special.
Duran Duran fully expects to be back in tip top form this summer, and are working hard with promoters to re-schedule all of the dates as soon as possible.
To thank the fans they've uploaded their May 12th performance in Rome on their official site.

The new Dismantled album is available at all European stores.
According to the band, "The war inside me", is actually the missing link between Dismantled´s dark and desperate masterpiece "Post-Nuclear" and his club compatible sarcastic follow-up "Standard Issue".
It is a certain observation that his new album fits right between those records, stylistically, equipped with two additional attributes. One is aggression, the other one is hate.
"The War Inside Me" is certainly Gary Zon’s most aggressive work so far with tracks like "Insecthead" and "Kill Or Be Killed" proving that point. The California trio led by Gary Zon, backed by Jon Siren and female keyboarder T-ZA take no prisoners on this fifth album neither musically nor lyrically.
Bass player, dub fan, author, documentary maker, world music explorer, modal jazz obsessive, old punk: the man born John Wardle is all these things and more.
Jah Wobble made his name after founding PiL with John Lydon in 1978. The first line-up of The Invaders Of The Heart emerged in 1983 after Wobble was inspired by music from around the globe. During the late 80s and 1990s, Wobble enjoyed a creative and commercial peak, recording for Oval and Island Records.
In the late 1990s, he began a prolific new chapter with his own label 30 Hertz, a period which is still creating such peaks as the acclaimed Chinese Dub album (2008).
Issued by Island Records in 1994, Take Me To God is Jah Wobble’s most commercially successful LP to date, peaking at No. 13 and yielding the hits Becoming More Like God and The Sun Does Rise. Take Me To God was inspired by myriad styles of world music, pre-empting an explosion of interest in the genre
