Noticeably absent was guitaristLe Bon revealed Taylor was MIA because he suffered a setback in his treatment of Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. The singer then read a portion of a letter written by Taylor, explaining his health issues.

Taylor wrote,"Just over four years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. Many families have experienced the slow burn of this disease and of course we are no different; so I speak from the perspective of a family man but with profound humility to the band, the greatest fans a group could have and this exceptional accolade."After the ceremony, Taylor's entire letter was posted on the band's website, providing more detail about his grim diagnosis.

Backstage at the Microsoft Theater, Le Bon told the press he was"absolutely devastated" to learn that"one of our family — is not gonna be around for very long." He ended with ..."We love Andy dearly. I’m not gonna stand here and cry or anything, that would be inappropriate, but that’s what I feel like."Duran Duran rocketed to fame in the 1980s with several chart-topping hits.
