Duran Duran's world tour got off to an awkward start in New Zealand on Wednesday as singer Simon Le Bon forgot the lyrics and bassist John Taylor stormed off stage, according to a published report.

"Duran Duran, f---ing up in style," Le Bon, 49, told the crowd at the Vector Arena in the northern city of Auckland, according to the New Zealand Herald's review the next day.

Taylor, 47, abandoned his instrument and walked off stage, apparently in reaction to a segment in which the group's members donned matching satin suits and headsets to play a medley on keyboards and an electric drum set.

"I could not dance to that. These people came here to dance," Taylor said, after he returned to the stage, according to the Herald.

They forgot "Hungry like the Wolf?" Just keep repeating "Mouse is alive" and "Hungry like the wolf" (whether that's the lyric or not) and you can fake your way through it. The lyrics to that song are complete nonsense.

You mean Duran Duran still is a band? They haven't disbanded?

Never liked them. But, in '89, I was dating a woman that got 2 free ticks, so I caved and went to the venue.

The single worst show (out of hundreds) that I have ever been to.

Just awful.
