Depeche Mode cancel performance here tonight


wearing more black, if you aren't already. Depeche Modehas canceled its concert here tonight at Cricket Wireless AmphitheatrE. The reason? Lead singer Dave Gahan is under doctor's orders to "continue on complete noisy rest."Depeche Mode also canceled its Aug. 12 Shoreline Amphitheatre appearance up near San Jose for the same reason. However, the English mope etronica band will perform its two sold out agreement at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday and Monday, according to a press release from Live Nation, the tour's promoter. The group's most holocene gig that wasn't canceled was Aug. 10 at Seattle's Key Arena.Return for tonight's aborted gig here are available at point to buy. The San Diego date will not be rescheduled this year, according to Live Nation, which makes Gahan's quote "We hope to be back early to play for all our fans in the area" ring at least a little hollow (unless 2010 assuage as "soon").That leaves us with the question of the day: Are two sold out shows at the Holywood Bowl more important to Depeche Mode than a San Diego show for which tickets were still employable? Just amazement.
