[@KatFish682]

Me too & I’m about to turn 53. DM is INCREDIBLE! The craziest thing was around 2016 or 2017ish, I was watching 101 for the first time after becoming an adult & having children that were now grown. My second son looks eerily like Dave! During 101, after being chased by a crazed fan, he pulls his hair that was wet with rain back & does the exact same sparkly eye look & smile that my son has always done since childhood. In the span of less than 3 seconds, I screamed, turned the TV off, & threw the remote across the room because I was so shocked! After watching 101, I found a pic of Dave from that era & posted it on FB freaking out about how much they look alike. My friends who know my son in real life asked if I was sure that I hadn't slept with Dave when I saw DM live. My son was born in ‘96, so no, I hadn't slept with Dave. I want my son to dress like him & get front-row tickets to freak Dave out. LOL!😹 Dave’s voice melts me & DM will always be my favorite!💜🤘😎

Just thankful he's still with us and still making brilliant music.

[@nicolemak4464]

Always a stunner! Have so much love for him. Saw their tour for "Memento" in Houston, TX, in October of last year. As a flight attendant, I had the opportune pleasure of being in the UK (namely London), right after "Fletch" had passed. I went out to the grocery store, in the Kensington area, and heard all these church bells. I knew something monumental had happened. DM will forever be in my heart.

[@mycharles3340]

It is incredible how Dave is still alive.

[@sunflower5ful]

Amazing band and always a joy to see live. So many songs relate to key events in my life. Love you Dave. X

[@sunflower5ful]

Gorgeous Gahan, if this is really you, you have made my year! Your music from the early days to 'Momento Mori' have been monument al moments during some tough times. 'In Your Room' and 'Stripped' are my favourites and we had 'Home' as our first dance. As a teacher of teenagers with SEND I have been able to share your music with a new generation, including my own daughter. Take care of yourself...we need your music inn our lives for a good while to come.❤

[@sunflower5ful]

Gorgeous Dave, if this is really you, then you have made me a very happy lady! Please keep making music for the masses. 'In Your Room' at the NEC was key in making me get some support at Uni after a life changing incident, 'Home' was played as our first dance, and 'Enjoy the Silence' will be my funeral adieu. The Dominatrix remix of 'The Sun and the Rainfall' is worth a listen. My daughter is a huge fan too and we love 'Before we Drown' usually full blast in the car!If not you... don't mess with a devoted follower.❤

I had colorectal cancer that spread to my bladder, and it did break into it. DM saved my life. To head that Dave had this just means more to me. Much love to my fellow survivor. Thanks to you Dave.

Top Band!! Loved them for what must be coming up 40 year's. Still relevant and still making fantastic music ❤❤❤❤

[@lavielemond]

VERY well said, my friend...& of my 3 lifelong favourite bands, New Order, Pet Shop Boys & DM (excluding Kraftwerk, because they began making music before I was even born & they're not exactly my idea of a contemporary 'band' anyway - although even PSB are pushing it in that sense as well - mind you, DM have now essentially become very similar to PSB in that sense, with just the two of them forming 'the band', although Christian & Pete have become almost permanent musicians within the bans & they certainly do FAR more than Andy every did anyway! IMO, Andy does one less thing now than he did when he was alive - ie take money from the band...although some would say that he also acted as Martin's confidant & his additional vote within the band, when Alan was still there & not coincidentally, when they were at their very best re: their musical output), the latter of the three acts are the only ones still making truly solid music this century, although for me, as I previously indicated, they will NEVER be anywhere near what they were when Alan was there, especially during their 'Violator' & 'Songs of Faith & Devotion' era, which was most likely when Alan had the greatest input...et voila!! PS. Apologies for the unintended & rather excessive verbosity of this post but it was the part within parentheses that formed the massive majority of it, I'm afraid!!

[@DrKnow1tAll]

I got them at #3 on my list, with U2 and RHCP at #2.

Thank you Mr Gahan for being such a great part of my life and may you live out yours in peace and good health.

[@nitegoat1369]

Having been born in 1971, and being a young teenager when DM was becoming famous, my looks were always compared to Dave Gahan. At one point, when I was 17 or 18, they happened to be in town (Detroit) visiting with Derrickk May, from The Music Institute - the originator of “Techno/House/Electronic Dance Music”. This was around the time they began production on Violator. Anyway, Derrick took DM to a club called The Majestic, which was the Majestic Theatre, where I and many of my friends worked. That night, my best friend at the time, who was basically blind without his glass, went up to Dave Gahan, and started talking to him, thinking that it was me, until Dave said in in English accent “I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else.”; that’s how much Dave and I looked alike at that time.

[@robertleem5643]

Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion are my favourite albums, they are superb performers, I hope that many more albums follow

101 years were the finest. I listen to the live album and watch the weird documentary often. Violator followed and is one of the best albums of all time. But I lost touch with DM after Kurt Cobain changed my life. But I still listen to and love DM. So sad about Fletch. I wish Alan would return.

M4tM has always been my favourite album, followed by violator. But even the 'album tracks' in M4tM are incredible. To have and to hold and nothing etc. Just brilliant. And when you realise that 'nothing' follows to have and to hold, it makes more sense.
