On May 26, Depeche Mode's official Twitter account confirmed that their longtime keyboardist Andy Fletcher had passed away at the age of 60.
His death comes at a time that has seen the loss of multiple people who contributed to timeless classics that will always have a special place in our hearts.
And if we feel nostalgic and throw on an Ernest movie, see one of Ray Liotta's great performances, or hear one of the atmospheric soundtracks Vangelis contributed to our favorites from the 80s, we can bask in the legacy of these creative powerhouses.
And just like some of those examples, Fletcher could say that he enjoyed a great deal of longevity as he was with Depeche Mode when they started and was able to stick with them right until the end.
