SIMON:

Best Duran Duran Moment of 2011:

-Our tour, especially Madison Square Garden, London's O2, the MEN in Manchester and Newcastle dates.
- When the digital release of ALL YOU NEED IS NOW debuted at #1 in 15 different countries.

Best Personal Moment:

- The first UK Club tour in Bournemouth. I felt the tension lifting as I began to sing "Before the Rain." My worst personal moment, incidentally, was when my voice had gone and not knowing when it would return.

World Events of 2011:

- The economic depression and the pain/suffering people are experiencing because of it.
- The jingoistic celebration of the death of Bin Laden.
- Arab Springs, which is magnificent and liberating. So many brave people have lost their lives.
