I don't think John is thin and wirey. He was on Never Mind the Buzzcocks a while ago. He seemed quite beefy. Also, he had a good inch on comedian phil Jupitus. Don't know how tall phil is though?

I dont think Lebon is quite a full 6-2. Id give him 6-1 1/2.

John Taylor is 6'1" and Simon Lebon is 6'2" ... John looks taller because he is thinner. Simon, has had back problem over the years and may have lost an inch, but in the 1980's Simon was taller. That's the truth folks.

Saw them 5 times in '82 in dinky clubs in/around NYC. I stood right next to him then & in '94, he's 6' 2" in shoes. The other Taylors & Nick were er, short.

John is about 6'.05" without shoes. He is about an half inch shorter than Simon who is right at 6'1". John's thin wirey build makes him look taller than he actually is.

Yay! I'm the first to comment on ***John Taylor***. I agree with this listing I've seen. Many males listed as 6'2 are adding a bit, but I think he's legitimate. Lead singer, Simon Lebon's listing of 6'1 1/2 seems accurate too. He's shorter, but barely.

I love that John's wife is a lot shorter. He didn't end up with some 5'8+ model. (Keyboardist Nick Rhodes gets all the credit for that one, and he's dwarfed by all his girlfriends!) I've seen a picture of him and his wife, and even with heels she was a great deal smaller. She may very well be exactly a foot smaller.
