Duran Duran @ Live Earth

It was confirmed this week that Duran Duran will perform at the London (Wembley Stadium) concert as part of Live Earth on July 7, 2007 (07/07/07). While it was announced some time ago that the band would be participating, this is the first confirmation of which location they're going to play. For ticket information, see duranduran.com.

Collaborating with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake

It's old news now, of course, but Duran Duran's next album is supposed to include three songs produced by Timbaland, one of which features guest vocals by Justin Timberlake.

It looks like the release time frame mentioned in this article probably won't end up being correct, but this Billboard story has some good background:
