Sad news.

[JonChalk]

No words

Music of my life DM

[anonymous-user]

Terrible news, my all time favourite band. No age at all

[SomersetWestie]

Just read this. Gutted beyond belief :-(

fk no. How sad. One of my favourite bands - have a massive 12" collection from the mode.

60 is no age. God really does have a sick sense of humour.

[rjfp1962]

Very sad news. Same age as me.. Thanks for the music and R.I.P. Andy.

Just listening to the live SoFaD recording, saw them twice within a week in Dortmund and Berlin on that tour, absolutely awesome.

[T5GRF]

Such very sad news, RiP Andy.
DM - soundtrack to my life

[Robotron70]

Awful news, love DM

[anonymous-user]

Really shocked and saddened. Ive been a Depeche Mode fan since the beginning and last saw them in Birmingham a few years back - they were as awesome as ever!

RIP Andy

[darreni]

No way, 60. Far too soon.
RIP

[Jeanboi]

Big fan of DM. This is so untimely and such a shock.
How can they go on now?

RIP Fletch.

Taken far too soon

I'll admit, I wasn't a DM fan but their tunes were always "there" on the radio back in the day. However, and bizarrely, I bought this back in the late 1990's:-



Which included a sympathetic re-mix of this:-

Took much more of an interest after that

Always thought the key change on the word 'time' was very clever though.

Always thought Dave would go first and early given his past heroin addictions

[Pupp]

Their dark stuff like the K&D mix of Useless is sublime; saw them once only in Manchester and was blown away just how good they were live; really unexpected. Harsh news and a sad blow to music
