Such a devastating blow. So glad we rallied and got our Boys into the Hall of Fame while Andy is still here to feel the love.

Don't give up Hope . I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer three years ago and not expected to live out the summer of 2020 . As of last week and seemingly a million needles and lonely hospitals . All three of my brain tumors have vanished without a trace . Believe in The Lord . My prayers are with Andy. .Also . St Peregrine ,Patron Saint of Cancer . Pray for Andy Taylor . In Jesus s name . Amen

Yes, I was thinking that. They were also hugging John and they were wondering what they were going to do with themselves now the tour was over. Andy shouts "We'll have to spend more time in nightclubs, yes that's the answer!". I love that scene, together with the whole film, I watched it so many times as a teenager.

So glad that our guys that we love so much were inducted last night and devastated that Andy Taylor is sick and unfortunately not there but he is alive now to receive this honor. I love Simon for calling Andy his brother, his mate, and family. These 5 guys are brothers and for them to make peace with Andy just makes me love them so much more ❤️ 💕 💗 💖. God bless them ❤️

So very sad. I love Andy too. He is one of my favorite guitarists and I've missed him being in DD. This news really hit me hard as a fan. I really appreciate the classy way Simon and the band addressed this. They are good guys. The RNRHOF accolades are much deserved, if past due in my opinion. Anyway, praying for a miracle for Andy. Any of us could go through what he is right now. Cancer is a scourge. Just think -- if we spent only a fraction of what goes into funding weapons of war on curing cancer instead, I think we could do it in short order. Prayers, Andy. :-(

That was a lovely and very heart-felt statement by Simon. You could tell it was genuine and that he deeply cares for Andy. This is (yet another) reason why DD are the best band in history.

Yet they handled it with grace, dignity, and class. It's a good thing that DD was inducted into the RRHOF while Andy is still with us and is able to see the band get such a high honor.

Andy Taylor does a lot for undiscovered bands, people don't really know that, many don't know about his great production skills and his solo work. He gave DD an edge, which they quickly lost without him but glad they remained friends. Best of luck Andy if you're reading.

Andy's Rock guitar played a big part in Duran Duran's well deserved success. Always saw him as very much his own man, and kudos to him for still being with Tracey after 40 years.

My husband I were there when they read the statement that night and we both cried our eyes out.. I'm so proud of my band and we love Andy has and will always be part of our Duran Duran Forever ❤️

Absolutely heartbreaking to hear about Andy Taylor. So glad my favorite band is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which is long overdue and well deserved.

Your favorites are a Pop boy band, not a rock group. You must love their highly skilled member's heavy drums, distorted guitars and awesome soaring solos. Or was it the flat harmonies, fruity haircuts and 'New Wave' fashions? Every time they opened for real rockers they were booed off stage

I think all of us who have been Duranies for decades are just stunned at the news regarding Andy Taylor. This night should have been the pinnacle of their careers yet turned into a bittersweet moment for them.

I woke up to this news today. I was so excited to check the internet and read the news about the event last night, and then my heart sank. What? How could this be? This was supposed to be the happiest day in the life of the band and their fans! How can I go from top of the mountain to the pit of despair in 2.5 seconds? I can't imagine the mix of emotions my boys must have been feeling. I mean, they didn't even have time to process this news properly before this show! Im so enormously proud of my boys, and so proud of and grateful to my fellow Duranies. We worked our tails off on that fan vote and got our boys inducted in time for Andy to enjoy it, even if he couldn't attend. I'm so happy that I got to see Andy perform in person with Duran in a small NOLA club in 2003. I have seen them 14 times but that's the ONLY time I saw Andy. I mean, it's both an amazing and a sh1tty end to a phenomenal year. But I guess that's life, isn't it? Andy, Tracey, and the kids and grand baby are in my thoughts, as are his four brothers in music.

You spelled out how I felt upon reading this today as well. I saw the band play with Andy in the band twice -- and so glad I did! Once was at the reunion show at The University of Houston and then again for the Astronaut tour in 2003 at the Toyota Center in Houston. I was totally blown away both shows. Two of the best concerts I've ever attended. I saw the band three other times but with Warren as guitarist. And while he is a great guitarist, it's just never the same without Andy in the band. Just my opinion.

This is so devastating. Simon was so strong and so were the rest of the band.

I am heart broken at the new of Andy cancer, it was a dark spot on a wonderful night. I am happy the band showed up performed, they are so over due for this award and I am happy that Andy is alive to watch and share this award with the Band I want this night to celabrate Duran Duran and their music, and for them to see the love from us the fans

We are all praying for Andy. Wish him a full and speedy recovery. Duran Duran is a special band primarily because they are great friends who look after one another and give each other their space and freedom. Even if Andy is no longer in the band, they share a bond that goes beyond egos or any kind of business associations. I take a bow to this group. Very few bands are like this.

Andy is the best guitar player . When I hear Duran Duran it feels like home. Prayers for you healing ❤️‍🩹 Andy

I agree all the way. I've lost too many to cancer and wish with all my heart cancer would get cancer and die. You could hear the sharp intake of breath around the world when Simon read Andy's letter. My heart went out to all of them even as I celebrated we'd finally gotten them in to the RRHOF under their own merits.

It is heartbreaking and joyful all at once. I'm so over the top ecstatic that we prevailed and got DD rightfully inducted into the RRHOF, happy that Andy had planned RIGHTFULLY to be there (but also sad Warren didn't attend either even tho he'd been asked and should have been). I appreciate that Simon and the boys chose to give Andy the spotlight for a moment, to not only read the sweetest AND hardest parts of Andy's letter out loud before their own acceptance speeches. Roger's smile was electric! I do wish Nick had said something, but it was easy to see they were all go smacked, period. Duran Duran forever!! 🎉♥️🍾🎼🎶🎉

Congrats and blessings to DD and Andy❤❤❤❤❤

So this set me off 💔 Thinking of Andy and his family, and these guys. Talk about bittersweet.

I am so sad to hear of Andy’s illness. I wish he could have been on stage with them where he rightfully belonged. I am happy that he is still alive to see himself and the band inducted into the Hall of Fame though. They absolutely deserve it. I used to catch some flack as a teenager from some other kids for loving Duran Duran, but I used to tell them to just listen to the music. That’s all they had to do. Yeah they were cute and made slick videos, but the music was their true strength and still is. To this day I still jam to The Reflex or Planet Earth and my kids know who Duran Duran is because I told them. My heart goes out to Andy and his family. We love all you guys and I can’t wait to see the induction. Stay strong Andy and you will be in thoughts and prayers.

I am so heartbroken over this and I hope the guys will be allowed time to process these news without the media prying on how they feel. It's a massive blow for them, and I hope they know that they are all in our duranies hearts and prayers, Andy and his family especially so.
