aw shit 🙁
rip mr fletcher
Saw that. Loved The ‘Mode in my youth.
Darn. That is sad.
RIP Fletch
Most influential band of my youth
Very sad news.
I still listen to Depeche Mode on a regular basis.
I have been trying to convert my son into a fan as well.
Sad news. Regularly listen to DM too.
There's a Depeche Mode bar in Tallinn which I unfortunately missed when I went.
wonder what he died of.
poah - I thought the same. 60 years old is no age at all...
I shall be 60 in 5 years - gulp!
Hohum

Yes me too, he was born in the same hospital as me and I also left Nottingham when I was 2!
We moved to Glasgow not Basildon though.
Better version from '93 before they went to shit
.
They didn't go to sh1t. Quality band that have kept producing interesting music. Sad that Fletch is gone.
Fat-boy-fat

Agree still like their newer stuff, Can't see much difference from the 1993 or the 2001 video I posted?
I saw them live for the first time on the world violation tour back in 1990 and saw them on their last tour (4 times sadly but one of them was at the Barrowlands). If anything, they've got better live. Best performance was probably in Milan back in probably 2012 when they were supported by Chvrches before they had even released a single. Stunning.
Sad news and a young age for natural causes. I too went to the world Violation tour at Birmingham's NEC and then SOFAD at Crystal Palace with afew gigs later on. Never followed their new stuff but the Flood produced Violator, what an album!
RIP.
Agreed sad news indeed.
I listen to them a lot and the newer album Spirit is stunning.
If you like the old stuff and have somehow missed it, the live album 101 is a must.
Never watched the documentary with the same name - will do later tonight.
Had them on lock all this morning in the workshop.
Fantastic band.
They didn’t go to sh1t.
Their stuff without wilder isn't a patch on pre 93.
Band of my late teenage/uni years. I have a signed VHS of 101! Picked it up in local WHSmiths, got home, thought... someone has scribbled all over this! Then I figured it out.
Seen them four times, bought various limited edition records, CD box sets, went to a Depeche Mode convention in 1990(?).
Still my default answer to "favourite band ever".
Very sad.
