Warren was sacked from the band by letter, Le Bon couldn't cope with the band being out of the limelight despite the fact that Nick and Warren were writing some of Duran's best songs ever.
However, its NOT true Warren left the band to reform Missing Persons. At this stage, Simon was tired of how things were going and did not want to carry on the band in that version. He wanted to get the original 5 back together or he was probably going to call it quits. However, as we all saw, Andy had no intention of sticking around very long and split 2 years after Astronaut was released and while working on a new album. Well, he was fired, but its semantics. He was gone,band made it official.
@ashmiles This is not true. It was Warren who left the band to rejoin his former band Missing Persons, and after that Nick and Simon tried to get the original line-up together. Moreover, when DD were awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award, Nick, Simon & John made sure Warren also received the award!
I dont think Simon could carry on with someone moulding models of there dick and flogging em on!....But fair play Warren did some bloody great stuff with DuranDuran.
Bit sad Warren got frozen out when the original line up reformed. They treated him a bit shabily at the end as well? Then Andy p*ssed off again, shame they didnt bring him back. They might not have needed to have collaborated with Timberlake/Timberland on that flakey Red Carpet Massacre album, most of which sounds like Timberlake/Timberland.
