Duran Duran is an English new wave band. Although formed in 1978, the band is most well-known for their output in the 1980s and was one of the most successful bands of that decade. Amongst their many awards are two Grammys and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The third single from their 1982 album Rio, "Save a Prayer" was used in the 2018 Bumblebee film, and was the fifth song on the movie's soundtrack.
