Today, synth-pop pioneers Depeche Mode announced a new album titled Memento Mori that's due next spring. They've also announced tours across North America and Europe from mid-May through August 2023. The follow-up to 2017's Spirit is the group's 15th studio album and first since the passing of founder member Andy "Fletch" Fletcher.
"We started work on this project early in the pandemic, and its themes were directly inspired by that time," Martin Gore said. "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." Dave Gahan added: "Fletch would have loved this album. 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."
Check out the tour dates below.
