Duran Duran, having sold more than 100 million records and winning MTV Video Music, Grammy, and The Brit Awards so far, dropped their 16th studio album, Danse Macabre, in October 2023. The Halloween-themed album includes their latest interpretations of older tracks and several covers by Billie Eilish, Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, in addition to new songs.
The upcoming run will mark the first anniversary of their latest album, whose idea was shaped at a Halloween Duran Duran concert in 2022.
“The song ‘Danse Macabre’ celebrates the joy and madness of Halloween,” Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes said in a statement. “The idea was born out of a show we played in Las Vegas on October 31st, 2022. We had decided to seize the moment to create a unique, special event…the temptation of using glorious gothic visuals set to a dark soundtrack of horror and humor was simply irresistible.”
“That evening inspired us to explore further and to make an album, using Halloween as the key theme,” he continued. “Emotion, mood, style and attitude have always been at the heart of Duran Duran’s DNA, we search for light in the darkness and darkness in the light, and I feel we have somehow managed to capture the essence of all of that in this project.”
Formed in 1978, Duran Duran settled on their most famous line-up in 1980 and has consisted of its current members since then, including Rhodes (keyboards, synthesizers, vocal effects, backing vocals), Simon Le Bon (lead vocals), John Taylor (bass, backing vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, percussion). They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.
