Man, everyone is going today, it seems. 60 years old and "suddenly" doesn't sound great at all. Fletcher had a big job ahead of him with the rest of the band when Vince Clarke left; of course, they ended up being superstars. RIP.

I was never so into them but my sister was a big fan growing up so I know a lot of their material for that reason. Pretty huge band, really. RIP. 60 is too young.

Yeah, as you know, my ex-wife was massively into them, current girlfriend is a big fan as well. I like their first album, I like Violator, and I like a few songs off of their other albums. I can never think of them without associating with the KITH sketch haha.

Ha, very true. And I won't lie, any time I hear 'Just Can't Get Enough' it makes me wanna boogie.

One more cause of death for me to worry about.

I'm glad that he didn't experience any prolonged suffering, and I'm sure his family was glad to let people know that this wasn't death by misadventure.
