Duran Duran Enlist Nile Rodgers and Mark Ronson For Upcoming Album

Duran Duran have revealed that they are working in the studio with Nile Rodgers and Mark Ronson on their forthcoming 14th studio album.

They made the announcement via a photo posted to their official website (via Billboard) of the band with Rodgers and Ronson in their London studio. They also confirmed that the LP is "tentatively slated for [release in] spring 2015." The caption labeled Rodgers and Ronson as "producers."

Rodgers worked with the band to produce their 1986 album, Notorious, a few tracks on their 2004 release Astronaut, and their No. 2 hit "The Wild Boys."

Ronson, meanwhile, co-produced their last studio release 2010's All You Need Is Now.

The band previously confirmed that they had been working with former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante on the forthcoming record.

"We are all such big fans of John's work and are honoured to have him adding his magic to the record!" they wrote. "There are no current plans for John to tour with us, but his guitars sound incredible on the tracks."

Duran Duran is set to perform on CBS' Fashion Rocks special, which will broadcast live from New York's Barclays Center on September 9.
