Screaming teenagers hail Duran Duran
From Ananova
Duran Duran have been besieged by teenagers as they toured a school funded
by the Brit Awards.
In the run-up to next week's music ceremony, the winners of the outstanding
achievement award met the students of the Brit School in Croydon.
Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor were met with screams of delight
by the schoolchildren.
Looking utterly bemused - as the scenes were reminscent of the band's early
days - the three were enveloped by the jubilant crowd as they posed for
photographers.
The band inspected the dance studio, theatre, recording studio and
technology labs before facing a grilling in a Q&A session from 50 students.
Le Bon, 45, seemed overwhelmed by the response at the school. "We did not
come here expecting anything - they are very confident children."
Referring to the campus, he said: "I am very impressed. It is just fantastic
and I wish I had gone to a school like this. The kids are so happy."
The Brit School, which was set up in 1991, is jointly funded by proceeds
from the Brit Awards and the Department for Education and Skills. It takes
children aged 14-19 and accepts 750 students every year.
"I really did not know about this school before today," said Le Bon.
"Suddenly, it makes a lot more sense - the whole Brits thing. Awards
ceremonies are slightly bogus if that's all there is."
The singer said he was "very excited" about next week's award but would not
disclose what the band would be singing.
He said: "We are performing but I don't want to spoil the surprise," he
said, but he added: "I won't be lip-synching."
