Andrew Fletcher (Depeche Mode)

Very sad news yesterday of the death of founding member Andrew John Leonard Fletcher (8 July 1961 - 26 May 2022) of influential English electronic band Depeche Mode had passed away from natural causes at the age of 60.

So thought i would post videos for their first three singles in honour of Andrew. Depeche Mode formed in Basildon, Essex, England, in 1980 as Composition Of Sound. When they added singer Dave Gahan, they changed the band name to Depeche Mode. The first time the band played as Depeche Mode was a gig at James Hornsby School in Basildon, May 1980, where Martin Gore andAndrew Fletcher were pupils and the rest is history. The band posted the comment below on their Twitter page.

First Single Dreaming of Me was released on the 20th February 1981 but only reached number 51 on the UK charts and because of this was not included on the debut album Speak And Spell which came out on the 5th October 1981.

Second single New Life was released 13th June 1981 and reached number 11 in the UK charts, the above video shows the band performing the song on UK kids tv show Razzmatazz.

Third single, the band released was Just Can’t Get Enough which hit record stores on the 7th September 1981, it peaked at number 8 in the UK charts, giving them their first top ten hit!!

R.I.P. Andrew John Leonard Fletcher (8 July 1961 - 26 May 2022) sadly gone but your music will live forever!!!

Almost Autumn is a musical artist who also happens to be a very kind and considerate person. I did this piece as a bit of an experiment, a bit of a side project, and also because she was kind and supportive. I hope I’ve been able to capture her very distinctive features.

Please do take time to enjoy her music. I know she works very hard on everything she does. She has a Tumblr presence,a YouTube channel, and an Instagram, not to mention a Bandcamp where you can support her work. You can also find other links on her Tumblr!

I hope you’ll enjoy this different little pin-up, and please do give Almost Autumn a listen. She’s got a kind heart and everything she does comes from it.

You can download the pin-up pack for free at my Patreon, which includes a print-ready png and a jpg that’s just right for viewing.
