Depeche Mode Announce New Album MEMENTO MORI and 2022 Tour Dates
Depeche Mode is back. Following the tragic death of co-founding member Andy Fletcher in May 2022, surviving members Martin Gore and Dave Gahan have announced a new album, Memento Mori, coming next year. Also in 2023: Depeche Mode are set to hit the road, kicking off the Memento Mori tour in Sacramento, CA, on March 23, 2023. The North American dates wrap up at New York's Madison Square Garden on April 14, 2023. See the complete itinerary below.
“This is the first time the two of us broached that question: ‘Do we go on or do we end this now?’” Gahan said during a press conference in Germany today (via Billboard). “And we said, ‘Let’s at least make this record.’”
“We started work on this project early in the pandemic, and its themes were directly inspired by that time," Gore said in a press statement. "After Fletch’s passing, we decided to continue as we’re sure this is what he would have wanted, and that has really given the project an extra level of meaning.”
“Fletch would have loved this album," added Gahan. "We’re really looking forward to sharing it with you soon, and we can’t wait to present it to you live at the shows next year.” Click here for ticket information.
