Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes is the latest artist to pay tribute to director David Lynch, whose death was announced Thursday. He was 78.

"David Lynch was a creative superhero for me, from the moment I first saw his film Eraserhead as a teenager," Rhodes writes on Instagram. "His imagination, innovation, style and humour will remain an enormous inspiration."

“Curious about the unknown and never afraid of a dark alley, he was an uncompromising, experimental artist, with a truly unique vision,” he added. “Sadly, the weather today in California is stormy and there is no lucky number.”

He concluded his post by writing, “Thank you, and goodnight David. May your dreams become evermore surreal.”

Duran Duran worked with Lynch back in 2011 when he directed their concert film, Duran Duran Unstaged, which was recorded during an American Express-sponsored concert at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles. In tribute to Lynch, the band shared the poster from the concert on their Instagram Story, along with a broken-heart emoji.
