A very influential band that really did nothing for me personally.

Huge Depeche fan and also a huge Yes fan

Lousy f'n day as both Fletch and Alan White leave us, along with Ray Liotta.

I was in Tallinn Estonia a few years ago

and they have a Depeche Mode bar. We just happened to be walking by and noticed it. Was a very unique place.

Back when music was good, and film for that matter.

Maybe aside from the Smiths, Depeche Mode is the band that means the most to me.

I've lost track of how many times I've seen them live. And each time it's struck me how Fletch looked like he was a kid having the time of his life.

Sad day. Rest easy Fletch.

My first concert ever at Giants stadium

Jesus and Mary chain opened. 6 of us crammed into a Sentra hatchback to go. They were amazing. Rip Andy.

Cool. Saw them at MSG in 1987. 60 years old... so much music left to make... really sad

Wow

Though I know nothing about Depeche Mode, it's very sad to learn of someone passing from "natural causes" at age 60. That's less than a decade older than I am, and it's sobering to confront the notion that perhaps I'm not middle-aged anymore.

RIP. Time marches on.
