I've always rather liked this picture of Roger (which is not a phrase I use a lot to be honest, due to his distressing habit of wearing electric blue (early days) and (reunion days) of looking like he sleeps in his clothes. I have always thought the person sprawled out at his side is Andy. Link to picture here imgur.com/wT261wgBut I saw a screengrab of the throwback DD calendar where they spitefully edited Andy out of every page despite it being his era of DD, except for this picture where whoever that is was still sprawled out in the background. So is that Andy? Anyone got any ideas?

Hi there! Looking at his chin, he doesn't look like Andy, also the mouth looks more like John. Plus he was blonde only a short period of time, so I'm afraid he's not our Andy. I would say John.

That explains why he wasn't edited out on the calendar screenshot I saw then. Like I say, I don't pay an awful lot of attention to pictures of Roger really, because he's so awkward. I think it was the hair that made me think it was Andy. I've never felt any desire at all to look at John long enough to remember what he looks like so that was obviously my difficulty!

I don't follow Duran Duran, but I saw it originally on ebay I think, it was called Careless Memories if I remember rightly, and was old photos by Dennis wotshisname, from Andy's era, but with Andy edited out. I've just looked on a search engine and it brings this up www.creweissue.co.uk/duranduran/product_info.php?products_id=191If you look at the back cover it includes that picture of Roger with whoever it is next to him, although peering at it it does seem like some effort's been made to crop the photo now I look closer. Obvously must have been a huge seller (not) since they're still selling it two years later and at half price as well. Just editing to add these i.imgur.com/vUa3OnO.pngi.imgur.com/vA2CVTM.pngI'm guessing this is where I got blond Andy with Roger memories from.
