RIP Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode 💐 rhino.com/article/rip-an…

RIP to Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode. Unbelievably sad news.

Very sad news today. Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode has passed. I knew Andy and considered him a friend. We crossed many of the same pathways as younger men . My heart goes out to his family, bandmates, and DM fans. RIP Fletch.

RIP Fletch. You'll be sorely missed. Depeche Mode

💔

We’re saddened and shocked that Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode has died. Fletch was a warm, friendly and funny person who loved electronic music and could also give sensible advice about the music business.

I have just heard the news. Since we were 10. Same estate. Class mates to label mates. He who kept faith with all the old gang and they with him. It doesn’t compute. Fletch. I have no words. #andyfletcher

Soul crushing. RIP Fletch. #AndrewFletcher #Fletch

Thank you for the memories, Fletch 💔 #DepecheMode
