Original Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor was not able to attend his band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Saturday (Nov 5), revealing that he was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.

Duran Duran lead singer Simon Le Bon broke the news onstage, reading portions of an open letter from Taylor, 61. The audience at the Microsoft Theatre gasped audibly at the news.
