Andy Fletcher passed away too young, just 60 years old.

"Who?" you ask?

Any was a founding member and keyboardist of Depeche Mode, a band from Basildon in England, who never had the success here they achieved abroad, especially Eastern Europe and Russia. My better 'arf visited a cafe in Estonia which played Depeche Mode videos endlessly ...

A music journo described Fletcher as not the singer, not the lead, not the writer, not the star ... just a thoroughly nice bloke who grounded the others and held the band together through four decades.
