Duran Duran’s Andy Taylor Talks Cancer Diagnosis: “I’m Gonna Live Life”
Last year, longtime Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage four metastatic prostate cancer. Now, in a new interview with Channel 5 News, the artist shared a positive outlook on the situation, promising that “I’m gonna live life” despite dealing with an incurable disease. Taylor was diagnosed with prostate cancer about four years ago, and said he originally didn’t think much of the pain he was experiencing before getting it checked out. “I was out jogging, and I started to notice what you would think was a kind of arthritic sort of pain, and I never thought more of it than that,” he recalled. “I started having these symptoms, didn’t recognize them for what they could be, and then I noticed, on my neck, I had what felt like tumors.” Upon receiving hi...

Eurythmics are celebrating 40 years of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).” The new wave classic dropped on January 4th, 1983, and both Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart took to social media to acknowledge the milestone. “It’s almost impossible to believe that ‘Sweet Dreams are Made of This’ was released forty years ago!” Lennox said. ‘It has continued to travel the world and the seven seas ever since, which is a wonderful and miraculous story all to itself!” Lennox added, “Songs are like ships…They have their own particular voyages and destinations.. Once they’ve been launched, there’s no turning back. You just have to follow the journey.” Advertisement Related Video “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” was Eurythmics’ first US single, and it reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The duo’s album...

Huey Lewis and the News Sell Majority of Catalog for $20 Million
Huey Lewis and the News have sold the majority of their catalog to Primary Wave Music for around $20 million, Variety reports. The deal includes all of the band’s music from inception through 1994, which includes hit albums like Sports and Fore! Of the band’s 10-album discography, seven of them were released before 1994, which means Primary Wave now owns hits like “Heart of Rock & Roll,” “Hip to Be Square,” “Workin’ For a Livin’,” and the Back to the Future single “The Power of Love.” In addition to simply owning Huey Lewis and the News’ music, the deal gives the publishing company the right to use the group’s music in marketing, opening the door to synch opportunities in film and television (though let’s be honest, there’s no topping American Psycho‘s use of ...
