To all of the Duran fans, now is the time to relax and put your feet up. Don’t break your back trying to do everything, make sure you have a good time. Lots of love, thanks for all of your support this year, it has been great. I know our album is taking a bit longer than we thought it would, but some things are definitely worth waiting for. We’ll see you soon! Whooosh. Simon
