The Girls On Film stars were due to play a private gig for Deutsche Bank later this year (08), but their performance was pulled due to the "current economic climate", according to the bank.

A source tells British newspaper The Mirror, "They re-routed their world tour at great cost to themselves to play the party. Then there's the fee. They're in talks but neither side is budging. They are disappointed."

However a spokesperson for the bank says, "There is no issue between Deutsche Bank and Duran Duran. The fact they are not playing is purely a result of the economic climate."
