Duran Duran 'Furious After Deutsche Bank Pull Private Gig'

Because of credit crunch...

Share

Duran Duran are furious with Deutsche Bank after the organisation reneged on plans to hold a private concert with the band, according to reports.

The veteran group were due to be paid over half a million pounds for the gig later this summer.

But bosses at the bank decided that the concert would not be suitable amid the current credit crunch.

Speaking to the Mirror newspaper, an unnamed source said that the band had “rerouted their world tour at great cost to themselves to play the party.”

“Then there's the fee. They're in talks but neither side is budging. They are disappointed."

A spokesperson for the bank denied that their was a rift between the two parties but acknowledged that the current financial climate was behind the decision to cancel the show.

    • Are you really sure they actually NEED this money though? Perhaps (let’s pretend they had played the gig and had been paid) if they donated the money to a worthy charity my opinion would then change. These guys are loaded - I don’t think they’ll stay ’furious’ for too long.

  • Half a million is a steal for this legendary group. I would pay 1 million because they are worth it.

  • Good decision taken by Deutsche Bank: 1) a bank must show how to save money, not how to throw it down the drain 2) a band coming from a flop record like Red Carpet Massacre should ask for 5000 pounds, not 500.000

  • Wendy, have you ever been to a Duran concert???They rock live! Are you aware that terrible lack of marketing hampered the sales for ”Red Carpet Massacre” significantly?? Don’t be stupid and use your common sense. Try a little Duran research!!

    • I’ve seen them live before and they were god-awful. I think my ears bled.

  • they’re shows are incredible....and to ”g”.. Duran have never been ”coroporate whores” and if you knew anything about the band and their history you would know this, corporate gigs are part of the industry you uneducated prat.

  • Geez, we have some upset people over something that is really none of their business. It’s interesting how people get so emotional about other people’s lives. It makes you wonder if they have one...
