Duran Duran's Andy Taylor shares photo from hospital after cancer treatment
Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor has shared a health update after undergoing his second round of cancer treatment. The 62-year-old guitarist was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer in 2018 and went public with his sad news last year when his band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
At the time, the Come Undone musicians announced his diagnosis in a letter that was read out at the 2022 ceremony. Andy wasn't able to attend due to his ill health. Since then, the guitarist has been sharing updates about his health with his social media followers.
Taking to Instagram, Andy shared a snap of himself at the hospital. He rocked a cosy navy hoodie and black sunglasses as he went through treatment. "In for my second round of cancer treatment," he said. "Everything is going so very well. I’m so deeply touched by everyone’s well wishes & love, I’m in good hands & just want to thank everyone for their kindness & strength, as a family we are beginning to feel whole again."
