DURAN DURAN'S CHICAGO SHOW CANCELLED FOR TOMORROW - AUGUST 29

Following the loss of their last three dates, in Pittsburgh, Atlantic City and Kettering (which was slated to take place tonight), Duran Duran, have announced that they are being forced to cancel tomorrow night's performance at the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, IL due to keyboardist, Nick Rhodes' continued illness.

Rhodes, who has been unwell for the past week now, has been advised by doctors that he is not yet ready to perform and should continue to rest for at least the next 72 hours, as he is still experiencing the same symptoms that have kept him from the stage for the last few nights.

The band members are all extremely disappointed, as this is the final leg of their world tour and more than anything, they hate to disappoint their fans.

Duran Duran are looking at whether it will be possible to reschedule any of these shows within the next few days, so ticket-holders should hold on to their tickets until further details are announced.
