Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor, 63, praises King Charles for revealing his cancer diagnosis amid his own treatment for the disease: 'It will save millions of lives'


The musician is currently battling stage four prostate cancer and is two-thirds of the way through his latest ground-breaking treatment.

He's been well enough to help organise several charity bashes to raise money for Cancer Awareness Trust, including an event last October which featured Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant performing the band's classic hit Stairway To Heaven for the first time in 16 years with Andy on bass. Andy is stepping up his fundraising efforts by organising an online auction where bidders can compete for an original Banksy painting, which will be presented to them by himself, Robert and Sir Chris at Claridges Hotel in London. Money from the successful bid will go towards the global fundraising efforts to launch the first version of Cancer Platform - a free website and app directing people to specific, trusted and expert information quickly and easily.
