Andy Fletcher, founding member of Depeche Mode, passed away today (26.5).
He will be missed by all Depeche Mode fans.
The remaining band members commented his death with great regret.
”Fletch had a true heart of gold and was always there when you needed support, a lively conversation, a good laugh or a cold pint.”
Kind words to be remembered by.
Fletch did not write songs, he did not sing them, and he wasn’t the greatest musician in the band, but he was a very important part of what made Depeche work.
Depeche Mode is one of the greatest bands in the world. I have all their albums and live dvd:s, many singles and 12”:s, and have seen them three times live. Three great shows.
Andy Fletcher has always been present, ever since pre-Depeche band Composition of Sound. Now he is no more, and he will be sorely missed.
Rest in Peace, Andy.
