From the official Duran Duran website:
As many fans have speculated over recent months, a profound change has occurred at the heart of the band as the story of Duran Duran moves into a new chapter. The trio of Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes & Warren Cuccurullo is coming to an end; the upcoming Japanese dates will be their last together after which Warren will be bound for America and a new project with his pre-Duran band, Missing Persons. Simon & Nick are to be reunited with original band members Roger, Andy and John Taylor for the first time in 15 years.
An album will be scheduled for release some time in 2002.

The European version of Celine Dion‘s new album, “A New Day Has Come,” is labeled with a label warning that advises listeners not to insert the CD into their computer. “It’s possible that after you read the warning and decide to put it in anyway, it could crash your computer,” a Sony representative told CNET.
The European discs are encrypted with Sony’s Key2Audio technology, which protects against digital copying.
