Duran Duran collaborate with Justin on new album

Duran Duran are collaborating with Justin Timberlake on their new album.

Lead singer Simon Le Bon said Justin had contributed "in a writing and production manner" on a forthcoming song.

He added that they had also worked with producer Timbaland on three tracks and other producers were interested.

The band, who are currently touring Europe and the US, recently split with guitarist Andy Taylor.

Bassist John Taylor likened the split to a divorce, saying: "There were many strong differences of feeling within the band for some time now."
