New Duran Duran video banned from TV

The video for Duran Duran's new single 'Falling Down' has been banned from TV.

The veteran rockers' promo features semi-naked women undergoing breakdowns and dealing with the stresses of rehab.

During the video, the band dress up as doctors and force feed patients drugs. There is also a scene where the group sit and watch nurses dressed in stockings bathing nude patients.

An insider told the Mirror: "It's a shame because the film is stunning. It's very arty, dark and deals with the whole celebrity culture of rehab.

"There has been so much coverage of young celebrities running off to rehab that the band wanted to poke fun at how ridiculous they are - but it's backfired on them.

"The band had shot two versions of the video but the one they wanted to release was deemed too risque, so a more toned-down and censored video will be used instead."

'Falling Down' is reportedly inspired by the recent public breakdowns of stars such as Lindsay Lohan and was co-written by Justin Timberlake.
