On missing the band’s induction into the Hall of Fame, Taylor said: “I’m very, very disappointed that I couldn’t attend. Make no mistake about it, I was ecstatic about the whole thing, I even bought a new guitar with the essential pedal!”

Reacting to Saturday’s letter, Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon said: “It’s devastating news to know and find out that a colleague… It’s absolutely devastating. We love Andy so much and you know, I’m not going to stand here crying. I don’t think that’s very appropriate, but that’s how I feel.”
