Simon Le Bon (born 27 October 1958) is an English musician, singer, songwriter and lyricist, best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the band Duran Duran and its offshoot, Arcadia. Le Bon has received three Ivor Novello Awards from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, including the award for Outstandi.
In the early 1980s, Simon Le Bon was engaged to his then longtime girlfriend, model-turned-actress Claire Stansfield.
After a break up with her, Le Bon wooed young fashion model Yasmin Parvaneh, seeing her face in a magazine, he phoned her modelling agency to track her down and they married on 27 December 1985.
Yasmin suffered two miscarriages, but the couple went on to have three daughters, including Amber Rose Tamara Le Bon (born 25 August 1989), a model like her mother, Saffron Sahara Le Bon (born 25 September 1991), and Tallulah Pine Le Bon (born 10 October 1994).
He became a grandfather on June 6, 2018 when his daughter Saffron gave birth to a baby boy named Taro Arturo.
While Duran Duran was on hiatus in 1985, Le Bon drew media attention when his maxi yacht, Drum, lost its keel and capsized during the Fastnet race, just off Falmouth, along the southern coast of Cornwall. Before being rescued, Le Bon and other crew members were trapped under the boat, inside the hull, for forty minutes. They were all rescued by the Royal Navy, using a Search and Rescue helicopter from 771 Naval Air Squadron based near Helston. The rescue earned the Rescue Diver, POACMN L Slater, a George Medal.[5] Despite the accident, Le Bon and Drum went on to participate in the 1985-1986 Whitbread Round the World Race, coming in third overall in elapsed time. Le Bon and his partners eventually sold Drum; the events surrounding Drum and the races were chronicled in a 1989 movie entitled Drum – The Journey Of A Lifetime and the book One Watch at a Time[6] written by Drum's skipper, Skip Novak.
