"Love, compromise, promises, presents help," he said, finding his track again. While his heart remains steadfast for Yasmin, he isn't exactly the innocent choirboy type. Don't let this mushy romantic suck you in just yet. On the brink of being sucked in, I was rudely interrupted. It was probably a good time to stop the gushing. Reassured he hadn't hung up, I was lost for words, partly due to the previous silence and partly because what do you say to a former '80s heart-throb who changes the subject from romance to raven? "The biggest raven I have ever seen just landed on my windowsill and then flew off again," he finally said. I waited for the conversation to start up again.

It was a question which clearly tickled Le Bon, who laughed loudly before answering without a second thought. So you can imagine my surprise when the results of a mini poll among a bunch of, how do I put this politely, a more mature group of fabulous women, requested Le Bon answer one question almost unanimously: What's the recipe for a successful marriage? To put it bluntly, he was fighting women off with a stick. Not short of options, he was bombarded with offers, proposals. When Simon Le Bon got married in 1985 nobody expected him to win any prizes for husband of the year.Ī self-confessed playboy, lover of the ladies and pop star pin-up in his heyday, the lead singer of Duran Duran, along with his four bandmates, had half the female population of the world hanging on their every word.
