John Taylor

Few bass players ever caused stadium-wide screams quite like John Taylor. As the dashing anchor of Duran Duran, he supplied the sleek, funky basslines that powered the eighties while looking like he had stepped straight off a Parisian runway. Alongside hits like 'Rio' and 'Hungry Like the Wolf', he spent a wild decade living the quintessential rock-star life—fast cars, supermodels, and sold-out arena tours.

He stepped away in the late nineties to get clean, write a best-selling memoir, and recharge. But you cannot keep a true pop icon down for long. He rejoined the original lineup, earned a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and still tours the world showing everyone how it's done.
