The Wild Boys of 80’s chart-toppers Duran Duran are getting a second life as headliners as virtual characters within the online game Second Life.
Second Life is an online 3D digital world, which is imagined, created and owned by the residents. More than 370,000 people have Second Life avatars.
Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes said of the project: “Second Life has brought a third dimension to the internet; it is the new frontier where dreams have become reality.
“When the video revolution began we instantly saw the opportunity to experiment and explore a new form of expression to enhance the musical experience. Second Life is the future right now, offering endless possibilities for artists.”
Rhodes said he hoped the Duran Duran community would help develop the island into a “fully functional, futuristic utopia”.
He said the band was “thrilled to become citizens of Second Life”.
