"The best answer you want to hear..."   A reporter doesn't want to hear "I'm signing a new contract" that's story over.

Real sad this, only 60 years old.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-61597992   Depeche Mode keyboardist Andy Fletcher dies

Depeche Mode keyboardist Andy Fletcher has died, the band has announced.
  The band said they were "shocked and filled with overwhelming sadness with the untimely passing of our dear friend, family member, and bandmate".
  The statement went on to say that the keyboard player had a "heart of gold" and their "hearts are with his family".
  Fletcher, who was 60, was a founding member of the band which found success with their dark electronic sound with hits including Personal Jesus.
  Depeche Mode had chart success in the 1980s and 1990s with singles including New Life, Enjoy the Silence and Just Can't Get Enough.
  The group was founded in Basildon in 1980 and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two years ago.
  In a statement posted on social media, the band said: "Fletch had a true heart of gold and was always there when you needed support, a lively conversation, a good laugh or a cold pint."


Gotta be honest and say I thought Dave Gahan would be the first to go.

Hopefully.   Cunt humans.
