Simon Le Bon dials up Kyle Meredith to discuss Future Past and Duran Duran’s upcoming induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Le Bon also talks about the 40th anniversary of Rio, the special validation of getting into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and their hopes to have Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo both present to play, and his thoughts on getting Kate Bush and Fela Kuti inducted next year.
