Duran Duran has had plenty of “pinch-me” moments in the last 44 years. But drummer Roger Taylor said performing at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June was near the top.

“It was a huge event for us,” Taylor said. “To be chosen for an event that is put on by the royal family is a pinch-yourself moment.

“We’re this little band that was created in this little club in Birmingham in a back room all those years ago. Fast forward and we’re playing for the royal family. It’s an incredible honor. Also, we have an emotional attachment because (Princess) Diana was a big fan of the band. So, it felt natural for us to be there.”

Fans who saw the concert in person or on U.S. television saw a sneak peek of Duran Duran’s tour, which comes to the Hollywood Bowl Friday, Sept. 9, to Sunday, Sept. 11. The title of Duran Duran’s newest album, “Future Past,” tells the whole story.
