I went to one of their shows in 1990, Violator tour. RIP.

This is very sad news.
Thank you for posting and including that link to my favorite DM song of all time. Policy of Truth was and remains amazing.

is a punch to the gut. Depeche Mode was a big part of my college years. Peace to you, Andy. You left us too soon.
