Calvin Harris Bounces Into Duran Duran's shoes
Calvin Harris the Scottish DJ and producer will play Duran Duran’s slot at the dual Festival this August after Simon Le Bon damaged his voice performing at the Cannes Film Festival, the injury has left him unable to reach the top notes.
So, ‘Save A Prayer’ for the Rio trio, as they have also had to cancel their performance at the iTunes festival on the 16th July.
Simon said, “This has been an extremely difficult decision to make as the injury I seem to have sustained is an internal one and so no-one can tell me exactly how long it’s going to take to mend completely.”
Perhaps the singer should just pop over and see Adele, as she seems to be suffering from the same ‘Notorious’ problem.
So hats off to the dance star for stepping in, he will be joined by The Arctic Monkeys, Plan B, Rihanna, The Script, Pendulum and many more.
Calvin told the Shropshire Star,”I can’t wait to perform at V Festival – the crowds are always amazing at both Chelmsford and Stafford. It’s going to be a lot of fun”.
