Depeche Mode will release a new album next spring called Memento Mori. They’ll also launch a global tour, their first live performances in five years and first since the death of founding member Andy Fletcher last year. A specific release date for Memento Mori has not been revealed, but according to band members, work on the album began early in the pandemic.

“Its themes were directly inspired by that time,” singer Dave Gahan said in a press release. “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. 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.”
