Taylor quits Duran - again

The second time as, well, not quite farce, as they're all past the stage of trouser-dropping and running in and out of French windows: Andy Taylor has quit Duran Duran again, citing a rift, or maybe a gulf:

A statement from the remaining members, Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and John and Roger Taylor, said a "gulf" had developed between them which meant they could no longer work effectively together.

It continued: "Although obviously disappointed and saddened about this, we are excited about the next chapter of the Duran Duran story."

The gulf, of course, wasn't helped by Taylor prancing out the door halfway through a US tour.
