Depeche Mode founding member and permanent keyboard player Andrew “Fletch” Fletcher has died, the band announced yesterday. We were shocked and filled with overwhelming sadness with this untimely passing.

«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.»

Every Depeche Mode fan and probably all good music lovers around the world are mentally with Andrew Fletcher’s family now. Thank you for everything, dear Fletch. Without you Depeche Mode is broken bird. We already miss you so much.
