Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor was not able to attend Saturday night's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, where the band was honored, due to a setback in a cancer diagnosis, according to a statement from the band.

His bandmates, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor and Simon Le Bon acknowledged the guitarist's absence from the Los Angeles event by reading parts of a letter he wrote for the occasion.

Taylor said in the letter that although his current condition"is not immediately life threatening there is no cure," and that he recently suffered a setback. Taylor said it was an honor to even be nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, let alone inducted, and addressed his bandmates of 44 years as his brothers.
