The producer, who will play guitar with the 80s pop band at the Smirnoff Experience Paris show, admits he is terrified about messing up in front of lead singer Simon Le Bon.
Mark said: “I’m really pretty nervous.
“I’m going to be playing guitar with Duran Duran, who are a really tight band and who have been playing together for about 25 years.
“It’s pretty surreal. Simon is going to sing Stop Me with Daniel Merriweather and it’s bizarre to hear this voice I’ve known since I was 10-years-old singing our song.”
The 32-year-old hopes the performance leads to further collaborations with Duran Duran in the future.
He added to the Daily Star: “I really want to nail the guitar parts. We’ve been rehearsing solidly in the lead-up. This is a really special gig.”
The star – who performed on stage with Lily Allen at the Glastonbury festival last weekend – also said Tim Burgess from The Charlatans is planning to head to France on the Eurostar to see the concert, which will be filmed for Channel 4.
