Duran Duran’s lead singer, Simon Le Bon, was born on October 27, 1958, in Bushey Maternity Hospital in Bushey, Hertfordshire. He happens to have the same birthday as his father. He is the eldest of John and Ann-Marie Le Bon’s three sons.
His younger brothers, David and Jonathan, follow him. Le Bon’s artistic skill was identified and developed by his mother when he was six years old.
She put him through a screen test for a Persil washing powder TV commercial, which was a success. Le Bon also showed an early interest in music, joining the local church choir. He also underwent acting instruction.
Prior to the reuniting of Duran Duran in 1986, Le Bon created Arcadia with Nick Rhodes. Their first hit, “Election Day,” charted in the top ten in both the UK and the US. In 1985, they released their sole studio album, “So Red the Rose.”
While Le Bon has been a member of Duran Duran for the entirety of the band’s recording career, he has also undertaken solo projects.
In 1985, he donated a song called “Grey Lady of the Sea” to the Whitbread Round the World Race, and in 1987, he narrated a video documentary called “Drum” that covered that year’s race.
In Japan, “Grey Lady of the Sea” was released as a single in 1988.
