Duran Duran is fessing up to the big name collaboration that never happened. In case you missed it, during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” the band shared that just about the time their hit “The Reflex” came out in 1984, they were contacted by Michael Jackson, who at the time was one of the biggest pop stars on the planet.
“I go to everyone, 'hey Michael Jackson called last night. Do you fancy maybe doing a song with him?," Nick Rhodes shared. "And they all went, 'nah.'”
The band was also asked how they would feel about one day having a biopic made about them. “Well, it’s very flattering idea isn’t it,” frontman Simon Le Bon replied. “I think every band would like to have a biopic made out of them,” noting that he would love to see “young Brad Pitt” play him in the movie.
