Roger Taylor, the drummer behind Duran Duran hits such as Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf, is leaving the band and giving up drumming. The 66-year-old says a recently diagnosed hearing condition, tinnitus, has worsened and doctors advised him to protect his health. Bandmates Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and John Taylor called him their brother and backed his decision. No replacement has been named.
