John Taylor (born Nigel John Taylor on 20 June 1960 in Birmingham, England) is the bass guitarist and co-founder of the pop rock band Duran Duran. Duran Duran was one of the most popular groups in the world during the 1980s, thanks to revolutionary music videos that played in heavy rotation in the early days of MTV, and Taylor was one of Duran Duran`s most popular members. Taylor played with Duran Duran and its changing lineups from its founding in 1978 until 1997, when he left to pursue a solo recording and film career. He made a dozen solo releases (albums, EPs, and video projects) through his company "Trust The Process" in the next four years, had a lead role in the movie Sugar Town, and made appearances in half a dozen other film projects. He rejoined Duran Duran for a full reunion of the original five members of the group in 2001. Taylor also founded two supergroup side projects: Power Station and Neurotic Outsiders.
From 1985-1989 John dated Danish model Renée Toft Simonsen to whom he was engaged. John married Amanda De Cadenet in a London registry office on December 24, 1991 and they had a daughter, Atlanta Noo, on 31 March 1992. They officially separated in May 1995. John met his second wife Gela Nash, co-founder of Juicy Couture, in 1996, and they married in Las Vegas on March 27, 1999.
