Ocean Rain 30TH Anniversary Show

[Frank The Bunny]

Didn't Gahan try to kill himself? He wasn't successful like MH.

I thought Hutchence was auto-erotic asphyxiation gone wrong.

I thought Hutchence was auto-erotic asphyxiation gone wrong.

I heard that too.

I think Gahan did try to kill himself

[Scouser]

He semi tried to kill himself (cut his wrists, but rang for an ambulance). Then they put him in a mental hospital. He didnt try it again.

He actually "died" after an overdose (Speedball I believe) - he had the injection of adrenelin to the heart Pulp Fiction style. Then he OD'd again. Twice.

Then he got clean. The cleanest he's been. He's taken the fall, put an end to it all, changed his routine.

Would make a good song that.

[black francis]

Seeing him interviewed shortly after (not sure if it was after his "suicide attempt" or after the OD) was heartbreaking. He seemed so contrite to the fans, so fragile and so despondent, I really thought he wasn't gonna make it.

Then he comes back with Ultra sounding better than ever, asserts himself creatively in Depeche Mode and almost all was right with the world again.

If musicians like Dave Gahan and John Frusciante can do it, I wish Mac would give it some thought before RAH.
