My Take
Andy Fletcher was never the flashy one in Depeche Mode, and that is precisely why I respect him. While Gahan and Gore got the spotlight, Fletch was the glue, the steady presence who kept one of electronic music's most enduring bands functioning for four decades. His 2022 death felt like losing a quiet uncle of the synth-pop world. The 2020 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction confirmed what fans already knew: a band needs its anchor as much as its stars. To me, Fletch embodied loyalty and the underrated art of just showing up.
