Duran Duran ditch Iraq war song
Published Thursday, Oct 4 2007, 09:36 BST | By Beth Hilton
Duran Duran have scrapped a song about the Iraq war from their forthcoming album.
'Criminals In The Capital' was originally included on the Red Carpet Massacre LP, but the band decided to stick to more positive songs.
Keyboard player Nick Rhodes said: "We've always reflected what's around us but we always tried to pick the more uplifting subjects. There was so much doom and gloom around that this record was becoming angry and political."
The group will play nine dates on Broadway next month to preview the album, which is released in the UK on November 12.
