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.

UK tour dates approaching, Depeche Mode singer news
Depeche Mode Electro rock legends are set to look out a memorable year with a new single and a full UK tour.
Depeche Mode may be a long way from their chart topping height, but the band retain a huge following around the world. For thousands of fans, a tour by the Basildon group is a genuine event, something to be cherished.
Their new album releasing 'Sounds Of The Universe' earlier this year, Depeche Mode seem to have found a rich vein of form. Opening their world tour with a show in Tel Aviv it seemed as if the band could re-capture the strutting heights of their 'Violator' era.
However singer Dave Gahan became ill, forcing a series of call offs. Undergoing emergency surgery, it eventually transpired that surgeons have discovered that the singer had a small tumour in his intestines.
Now fully recovered, the band are due to return to the UK for a series of tour dates in December. To coincide with this Depeche Mode are set to release a new single, taken from their celebrated album 'Sounds Of The Universe'.
‘Fragile Tension’ / ‘Hole To Feed’ is due to hit the shops on December 7th, released via their traditional home of Mute Records. Backed with a number of exclusive remixes, the 8 track CD version is a superb introduction to the new sound of Depeche Mode.

New Video Release Soulsavers Depeche Mode as they get ready to tour
New Video Release Soulsavers DepecheMode as they get ready to tour was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (Columbia) Soulsavers, the nom de plume of English production duo Rich Machin + Ian Glover, are joining up with perpetual collaborator Mark Lanegan to tour Europe as particular guests with the legendary Depeche Mode.
This tour is in support of their hauntingly beautiful third album, Broken! Broken was released digitally in the U.S. this past August on Columbia Records; the physical release date is still on the horizon. In support of the release of Broken, their upcoming tour, and the imminent HOWL-iday, they've released the ghoulish and unsettling new video for their song "Unbalanced Pieces," directed by Hiro Murai. Hiro Murai says "The initial concept for 'Unbalanced Pieces' came from a conversation I had with the band over our shared love for David Lynch, particularlly his off putting ambiguity and uncanny portrayal of a dystopian suburbia. The making of the video consisted of shooting still photographs of suburban Rancho Cucamonga, which we then projected inside a dark studio to give us a surreal sense of space and atmosphere."
