We\u2019ve got all of the tracks finished kind of for the album without them being mixed,\u201d Gore said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of the songs and even the album title was kind of decided before Andy passed. (The title) sounds very morbid but I think you can look at it very positively as well in that live each day to the max. That\u2019s how we like to interpret it too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most of the songs were penned during the COVID-19 pandemic, with their themes inspired by that period, Gore said in a statement on the band\u2019s website. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter Fletch\u2019s passing, we decided to continue as we\u2019re sure this is what he would have wanted, and that has really given the project an extra level of meaning,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Fletcher died after suffering an aortic dissection. He was 60. Gore and Gahan returned to the studio in July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany times we would joke or things would come up and of course we missed Fletch,\u201d Gahan said in Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>The band will kick off a world tour to support the album\u2019s spring release, in March. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat process is still happening, what we\u2019re going to be doing on stage, how we\u2019re going to do it, what visuals we\u2019re going to use,\u201d Gahan said, when asked what stage tributes the band were planning for Fletcher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019ll be there in spirit anyway, I\u2019m sure, judging us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Depeche Mode, known for songs such as \u201cPersonal Jesus\u201d and \u201cEnjoy the Silence\u201d, released their first album \u201cSpeak &#038; Spell\u201d in 1981, placing them at the centre of Britain\u2019s new wave scene.<\/p>\n<p>They released their last studio album, \u201cSpirit\u201d, in 2017.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Marie-Louise Gumuchian, editing by Ed Osmond)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/depeche-mode-announce-new\/attachment\/depeche-mode-photo-call-in-berlin\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930QM-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930QM-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/depeche-mode-announce-new\/attachment\/depeche-mode-photo-call-in-berlin-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930QN-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930QN-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/depeche-mode-announce-new\/attachment\/depeche-mode-photo-call-in-berlin-3\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930QO-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930QO-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/depeche-mode-announce-new\/attachment\/depeche-mode-photo-call-in-berlin-4\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930QP-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930QP-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/depeche-mode-announce-new\/attachment\/depeche-mode-photo-call-in-berlin-5\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930QS-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930QS-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BERLIN (Reuters) \u2013 British electronic music pioneers Depeche Mode announced a new album and world tour on Tuesday, their first since the death of founding member Andrew Fletcher this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1671777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1671777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1671777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1671777\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1671777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1671777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1671777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
