Duran Duran and Rodgers share a history of hit-making dating back to 1984. The Chic co-founder added his magic touch to "The Reflex" from Seven And The Ragged Tiger, transforming it into a global sensation and Duran Duran's first Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper.

Rodgers was an idol to the members of Duran Duran well before their collaboration. Their bond has remained strong, leading to numerous collaborations across tours and studio albums including “Wild Boys,” Notorious, Astronaut, Paper Gods, and most recently, 2023's Danse Macabre.

The Rock Hall inductees have scheduled a series of shows for 2026, including a residency at Bleaulive at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, arena and festival appearances across North America and Europe, and a headline performance at BTS Hyde Park on July 5.

Rodgers also has a busy schedule, with concerts planned in the U.K., Europe, North America, and beyond.

Duran Duran has received numerous awards, including the Brit Awards’ Lifetime Achievement, two Ivor Novellos, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, two Grammy Awards, and induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. In 2024, Le Bon was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by King Charles.
