RIP Andrew Fletcher from Depeche Mode
Click to expand...
I am surprised that the first member from Depeche Mode to die was Andy Fletcher. I remember Dave Gahan surviving more than 4 brushes of Death, Dave Gahan was a heroin addict and at once nearly died from a drug overdose. The passing of Andy Fletcher serves as a downpour of sorrow for the week as well as a grim reminded my youth is passing away, It already took blow of devastation for the remaining members of the band. He was a very important part of Depeche Mode and is the one known for the instrumentals of the band, he was very gifted. The moment when Martin Gore and Dave Gahan passes away, it's going to be incredibly dark. I can never listen to a Depeche Mode song without a the feeling of a dark cloud over my head knowing Andy Fletcher passed away, especially when I actually saw him and interacted with him in real life on October 27, 2017.

Fren, I am very sorry that the loss of Fletch is hurting you so much but... kiddo? Go touch grass.

Edit: Okay I already feel bad for saying that but also seriously, as an old lady DM fan? GO TOUCH GRASS.

This has just come to my attention, and I didn't see it ITT.

Horror fans, pour one out for German actor Dieter Laser who died February 29, 2020 age 78. He won the German Film Award (Oscar equivalent) for Best Actor in 1975, but is better known to global audiences as Dr. Josef Heiter in the controversial film The Human Centipede (2009). He won several awards for this role. He was also a different lead character in the third installment of the series.

Recently I re-watched the first one (the best one) and I thought, "Wow I hope Dieter is having a good day today," then went to watch the second one again and I was recommended an article about how he died.

It was apparently not announced until April 2020 by his wife Inge on his Facebook page.

A lot of producers in the pop, rap and techno scene used the MIDI if I recall. This has a very big generational feel to it. Dave should be proud that his creation helped span millions of creatives to use this synthesizer and make it work.

Many artists over the years have used the Prophet 5 and it's descendants. It's one of the most famous synths and they are really fun to play around on.
