“British band Duran Duran are to create a virtual island within online game Second Life, on which they will perform actual live concerts. The band is the first major group to announce a virtual world presence in the game.”
Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes said: “When I first discovered Second Life a few months ago, I was astounded by the possibilities that were there. “When I started looking at the figures running around, chatting and interacting, I thought this is somewhere between a bizarre virtual reality TV show, a surreal real-life experience and a video game.”
