Depeche Mode In Mexico City Dave and Martin Walking On The Cat Walk 23-09-23

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The atmosphere was celebratory and emotional in the first of three concerts that Depeche Mode will offer as part of their Memento Mori tour at the Foro Sol in Mexico City, where they return after five years of absence. Upon arrival, in the street stalls selling t-shirts and unofficial merchandise related to the British group, it was shocking to see that the prints had only the vocalist Dave Gahan and the composer and multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore. As if it were a new duo. A reminder of the absence of his musical partner of decades and founder of the group, Andy Fletcher, who died in 2022 of natural causes. Despite that, the excitement was at its peak around 9:30 p.m., when the stage lit up with a big “M” and Gahan began singing the first verses of “My Cosmos Is Mine” from his most recent album “Memento Mori”, released in March, the first since the death of Fletcher, to whom they dedicate it. 23-09-23
