Hungry like the wolf, Simon? Not half!

- By Susie Coen TV and Radio Reporter

BACK in the 1980s, he was one of the biggest pop stars on the planet.

And it appears Simon Le Bon is still a sizable presence, even if the glory days are long gone.

The 60-year-old, whose hits with his band Duran Duran included Rio and Hungry Like The Wolf, was spotted after going for a dip in the Caribbean.

The singer was pictured wearing black swimming shorts on a beach in the Cayman Islands prior to his performanc­e at the Kaaboo music festival.

He may now be a little chunkier than he was in his heyday as a heartthrob when posters of him adorned the bedroom walls of thousands of teenage girl fans.

But Le Bon and Duran Duran still managed to fire up the festival crowd with hits including Wild Boys, The Reflex, Notorious and A View To A Kill.

Le Bon has been married to model Yasmin, 54, for more than 30 years, and the couple have three daughters, Amber, Tallulah and Saffron.

Duran Duran were formed in the late 1970s and had their first chart hits in 1981 with the singles Planet Earth and Girls On Film.
