‘Mum and Dad end up partying longer than any of us,’ adds Saffron. ‘Dancing, singing and having way too much wine,’ agrees her mother. ‘There’s never any peace and quiet in our house.’ Tallulah paints a picture of a typical Le Bon night in: ‘Amber’s plonking away on the piano, the dogs are barking, Dad’s playing guitar, Saffron’s singing and Mum’s shouting.’ She grins. ‘It’s complete and utter chaos.’ But it does sound fun. ‘It is a struggle sometimes, but life isn’t perfect, is it?’ she says. Yasmin describes her family life as ‘muddled’, and it does sound like precisely the sort of glorious messiness that we celebrate at Red – working parents with busy schedules, and never quite enough time in the day to get every job done. It happened the other night and Tallulah turned around and said, “What, without me?”’ ‘God forbid Simon and I ever want to go out for dinner on our own. I do worry sometimes that we’re all a bit like Siamese twins,’ says Yasmin of her crowded house. ‘These girls weren’t born thinking, “We’re going to wrap her around our little finger.” It’s my fault.
‘I’ve obviously enabled all of this,’ she smiles. And it’s clear Yasmin wouldn’t have it any other way.

‘The house is always full.’įilling this happy home are Amber, 25, Saffron, 23, and Tallulah, 20, plus Saffron’s boyfriend, Tallulah’s best friend and Yasmin’s niece. ‘Sometimes I think, this is like a shabby b&b, nobody pays and I can’t get on with my life,’ she jokes. ‘At the moment, we’re eight adults, two cats and three dogs.’ Plus Granny in a house at the end of the garden. She’s referring to the living arrangements at Casa Le Bon, where Yasmin and her husband of nearly 30 years, Duran Duran’s Simon, live with their three daughters, plus various friends, relatives, boyfriends, dogs and cats.

An overdue family get-together for a mum and the three daughters she rarely sees? Um, no. Gathered by Red for their first family photoshoot in a long time (it was 2001 when we last managed to round them up), trying on monogrammed pyjamas and commenting on each other’s hair and make-up, supermodel Yasmin Le Bon and her three daughters are whooping like teenagers at their first sleepover. Really glorious laughs (but we’ll get on to that later).

It’s quite something to be confronted with the full quota of Le Bon women. Saska Graville meets the gang to discuss "bonkers" dad Simon and why a full house makes for a happy home. It will be a future past.Beautiful and spirited, Yasmin Le Bon and her three daughters join Red for a rare family photoshoot. “The real point of the song is that every moment you’re living now is going to be a memory in the future. “You can’t relive the past, but you can remember it,” the singer says. Or the title track, which invites us to wave stadium scarves to the inevitable demise of the very moment we’re enjoying.
Hence the grim empathy of first single Invisible, which addresses the perfect storm of isolation wrought by modern power structures, technology and COVID-19. “Part of living is getting used to the bleakness of life and going, well, that’s what it is, and accepting it.” “But life is bleak, isn’t it?” Le Bon responds. Japanese rock girls CHAI turn up, too: More JOY! is a song that insists on the titular good stuff despite lyrics that, overall, lean towards the more bleak and ominous side of the human experiment. “Mark Ronson! Giorgio Moroder! Mike Garson!” Le Bon elaborates of the guest list. Credit: Jeff Spicer/Getty Images for Global Citizen
