				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Duran Duran&#8217;s Andy Taylor, along with other prominent musicians, will unite in a collaborative effort to raise funds for a cancer charity through a special concert scheduled for this month. The esteemed 62-year-old guitarist and vocalist was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in 2018 and has since been actively involved in promoting awareness surrounding this condition.</p>
<p>Taylor will be joined by Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin, Andrew Ridgeley from Wham!, David Palmer from ABC, as well as singer-songwriter Ella Henderson and guitarist Phil X. Together, they will perform a selection of their most renowned songs to an audience consisting of philanthropists, musicians, and two fortunate fans.</p>

<p>The event, set to take place on October 21 at Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds, will also encompass a live auction showcasing artworks by Banksy and Picasso and exclusive Fender guitars signed by artists including Lady Gaga, Nile Rodgers and Green Day including a special Fender Guitar to be played and signed by Andy Taylor on the night! Additionally, Katherine Ryan will deliver a comedic performance, while Ridgeley will assume the role of DJ.</p>
<p>In an interview discussing his treatment, Andy <a href="https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/andy-taylor-duran-duran-concert-cancer-platform/">said</a>, <em>&#8220;There also needs to be a revolution in men&#8217;s healthcare about prostate cancer, a breaking down of the stigmas associated with getting tested. The Cancer Awareness Trusts’ vision for a Cancer Platform is what we need and why I’m an ambassador.&#8221; </em> He went on to <a href="https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/andy-taylor-duran-duran-concert-cancer-platform/">add</a>, <em>&#8220;So many amazing people have come together to put this show together with Andy and I can’t wait to celebrate with them all on the night, but more importantly, I’m looking forward to putting the funds raised to the crucial and urgent work of transforming cancer outcomes.&#8221;</em></p>
