Book Depeche Mode - Celebration

One of the most important groups on the current music scene
It's been more than forty years since Depeche Mode took over the radios and the hearts of (eternal) teenagers. The group is preparing its fifteenth album for spring 2023, 6 years after its last album, Spirit (number 1 in sales in 2017 in France, Switzerland and Belgium). How did this small group from Basildon, a small new town in the distant suburbs of London, nice "hairdresser boys", with their electro-pop refrains become a worldwide cult group? Marc Dufaud explores the depths of one of the most important rock groups of recent decades. Between musical exploration, ranging from industrial music, blues, exploration of the most extreme rock attitudes (look, drugs, decadence), Depeche Mode remains one of the most endearing groups there is, with one of the most loyal audiences. Andrew Fletcher died while the book was being written. The author pays him a vibrant tribute.
