Duran Duran said Taylor quit last weekend but that the remaining four members singer Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, bassist "We have reached a point in our relationship with him where there is an unworkable gulf between us and we can no longer effectively function together," the band said Thursday in a statement on their Web site.
Duran Duran apologized to fans for not making the announcement sooner, saying they realized that speculation had been running high about Taylor's future.
