Duran Duran and Mark Ronson rock Paris, Bond theme rumours strengthen

Duran Duran entered the "Quantum of Solace" theme song frey earlier this week when keyboardist Nick Rhodes insisted they were keen to collaborate with superproducer Mark Ronson to perform the title track to Daniel Craig's second outing as James Bond.

The combination of Duran Duran and Ronson delivered a gig in Paris on Wednesday night that any nostalgia-loving pop fan would have killed to be at - reports The Sun.

A seamless 20-song set mixed by Mark took Simon Le Bon, Nich Rhodes, Roger Taylor and John Taylor an hour-and-a-half to belt out with hardly a second’s pause.

After classics Wild Boys and Save A Prayer came a 007 medley which included their 1985 Bond theme A View To A Kill.

Before the invitation-only gig organised by Smirnoff Experience, Mark explained: “Playing with Duran Duran is pretty f****** surreal. Definitely one of my highlights. “Duran Duran were my favourite band when I was a kid. I had posters, stickers and tried to copy their haircuts."

Rhodes said, ""We'd love to collaborate with Mark on a single for the next Bond film. With him we may even surpass A View To A Kill." "

Ronson was collaborating with Amy Winehouse on a title song for "Quantum of Solace" before the duo parted company.
