www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/18699717/andy-fletcher-depeche-mode-dead/It’s strange because I’ve been thinking a lot about Duran & mortality a lot lately. They’re all guys in their 60’s & who knows what the future holds for anyone.I guess it’s unlikely that in 10 years time all 5 members of the classic line-up will still be here. I mean, look at The Power Station. Anyway, RIP Fletch.

Awful awful news! So happy that I saw Depeche Mode live twice in 2019. Ray Liotta just half an hour ago and now this? It’s unbearable, heartbreaking. 💔 RIP Andrew 😪

having similar shared feelings here--with the same kind of shared past of growing up w/depeche mode and them being a huge part of finding music and myself w/music. just very very sad all the way around.

Sad news! RiP Fetcher and Ray.. shocking .. did anyone know if Fletcher had a preexisting condition? I hope none of them were due to Covid?
God rest their souls!
And with John getting diabetes from Covid and Simon drinking too much these days and not in shape it’s always better at their age to stay in shape and eat right ..
But look at Keith Richards .. still defying the odds! Great genes…

I'm totally shocked. Incredibly sad news. Bar Duran Duran, Depeche mode are probably my favourite band, with violator being my favourite album. It's incredible. The flower on the cover of that album seems so apt right now.
It's difficult when your 'favourites' are starting to die. Same age as Duran Duran too....I'm sure they will be incredibly shocked by this news too. I know they are playing a few dates this weekend. I wonder if they might play a Depeche mode track...? I would absolutely love it, if they could!!! (God, I'm not sure what I'd love to hear, or what they could possibly pull off? - "Leave in silence"?) RIP Fletch. Thank you for the music.

I was upset about Prince and Bowie - but this has cut deep. I am crest fallen. This will have repercussions for a long time. I’m pretty certain DM have finished a new album. But its way too soon to speculate. I need time to adjust. Can’t believe it.
