Nicholas James Bates was the only child of well-off parents who were the owners of a Birmingham toy shop. He attended Woodrush High School in Wythall, north Worcestershire. He and John Taylor (from the nearby village of Hollywood) formed a band called ‘RAF’. Bates left school in 1978 at the age of sixteen, and founded Duran Duran with school friends Stephen Duffy (vocals), John Taylor (who then played lead guitar), and Simon Colley (bass). Rhodes reportedly owns the Duran Duran name; this was mentioned in the Andy Warhol diaries. Warhol told his diarist Pat Hackett that Duran Duran had split up (in 1986, Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor left the band, returning in 2001 to reunite and create the Astronaut album) “but Nick owns the name so it’s still Duran Duran”.
As the band coalesced into its final line-up in 1979–80, Duran Duran started playing at a local Birmingham club called “The Rum Runner”. The club owners became the band’s managers, and Rhodes began working at the club as a disc jockey.
He is the father of a daughter, Julie Anne Friedman, his ex-wife.
