Depeche Mode's current tour has been both "calamitous" and "an amazing spectacle," keyboardist Andy Fletcher tells me.
The calamitous: "I found out on the first day of the tour, my father suddenly died. Completely a shock," Fletcher says.

"Then we had the problem with Dave."
Singer Dave Gahan went to the hospital for gastrointestinal trouble -- which led to doctors discovering cancer in another part of his body.
"They went scanning him for the gastro, and they found this tumor in his bladder. It turned out it was cancerous. But it was very, very early stages, and they snipped it off. And he's been back on the road."
But wait, there's more.
Gahan then tore a calf muscle during a July concert in Spain.
And last week, Gahan's doctor ordered him on "complete" vocal rest.
All this calamity has led to some canceled shows, although they have honored most of their tour dates.

I love Martin and Dave
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

I think he is, no new episodes reported and every day it seems a new gig is added for 2010.
Wrong is one of those songs that is so simple you'd think you'd get bored of it, but I havent yet...

Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.
Scouser's inability to se others' point of view is rather grating.

They just tour too hard. Gahan gives way too much at each show. I'm no longer shocked he tears muscles, loses his voice and gets tumors.
