The Depeche Mode Tour Of The Universe Trailer



You know how the old folk go on about how great Led Zepplin, The Rolling Stones an Pink Floyd were? Like me you probably think - <"uh no". Well for me - Depeche Mode are the hands-down equivalent in my book - the true kings of electronic pop - rock and roll gods. So you can only imagine how excited I am to have a new memento (on Blu Ray too -eek!) of their Tour Of The Universe. This tour was exceptionally memorable for me too - it was the first time I've got to backstage at a Depeche Mode show - yes I'm trying to make you jealous here - is it working? Definitely one of my top ten moments of the year.

Depeche Mode and sponsors donate £400k to Teenage Cancer Trust

Depeche Mode and their tour sponsors, watchmakers Hublot, presented the Teenage Cancer Trust with a £400,000 cheque last week, which was nice of them.
The Mode have been doing various fundraising things during their Hublot-sponsored tour, including auctioning off twelve unique Depeche Mode watches made by the sponsor.
They presented the big fat cheque at a concert in aid of the Trust at the Albert Hall last week. The Mode gig was part of the Roger Daltrey's annual fundraising concert programme, even though it preceded the others by a month.
By the way, during that show former Moder Alan Wilder joined the band on stage during their encore, the first time he has appeared with the band since quitting fourteen years ago.
