With Duran Duran, John Taylor has created some of the greatest songs of our time. From the disco dazzle of debut single Planet Earth's right up to their latest number one album All You Need is Now, Duran Duran has always had the power to sweep the world onto its feet. It's been a ride
- & for John in particular, the ride has been wild, thrilling... & dangerous. Now, for the first time, he tells his incredible story
- a tale of dreams fulfilled, lessons learned & demons conquered. A shy only child, Nigel John Taylor wasn't an obvious candidate for pop stardom & frenzied girl panic. But when he ditched his first name & picked up a bass guitar, everything changed. John formed Duran Duran with his friend Nick Rhodes in the spring of 1978, & they were soon joined by Roger Taylor, then Andy Taylor & finally Simon Le Bon. Together they were an immediate, massive global success story, their pictures on millions of walls, every single a worldwide hit. In his frank, compelling autobiography, John recounts the highs
- hanging out with icons like Bowie, Warhol & even James Bond; dating Vogue models & driving fast cars
- all the while playing hard with the band he loved. But he faced tough battles ahead
- troubles that brought him to the brink of self-destruction
- before turning his life around. Told with humour, honesty & hard-won wisdom, & packed with exclusive pictures, In the Pleasure Groove is a fascinating, irresistible portrait of a man who danced into the fire... & came through the other side.
