Duran Duran drummer Roger Taylor said he will leave the band due to his worsening tinnitus.

Taylor has been the chart-topping group's drummer since they formed in Birmingham in 1978, which he described as "the joy of my life", but said he had "reached the point where I must now listen to my body and my doctors".
