Yes! I was thinking the very same! Sadly, the RNRHOF has been far too late with getting many deserving bands inducted in. There's still many great bands from the 60's and 70's to still get inducted and many of the members have passed on. Depeche Mode is one of my favorites bands and a very unique band. Well deserved Depeche mode! R.I.P. Andy Fletcher!

Everyone in the world has to have at least one song on at least one playlist. Or if you're like me, numerous dedicated playlists of only DM material. I've bought all their material at least three times over the decades, starting with cassettes, then CD's, and now digital downloads LOL. Think about it though.

Martin is such a delight. His lyrics cover so many emotional topics: love, lust, passion, greed, envy, even death, heaven and hell, life, you name it, his lyrics cover a very broad palette and yet……the man is so delightful and cheery and smiling and joking in every clip I’ve seen. RIP Andy. Amazing man, and Dave you are a mountain of strength. Overcoming addictions and being a light for many to follow. Watching these guys horse around never gets old. Love DM. Very excited for the new album, Memento Mori. ✌🏼

You have been the soundtrack of our lives. I can probably speak for everyone who is your fan that the moment we hear one of your songs, we are taken in, everything around us stops and we are one with the song. Through time, you have evolved into a better version of yourselves. David's voice is more resonant, Martin's lyrics continue to move the soul and Fletch is the backbone that keeps things in balance. You have maintained your musical integrity and you have delivered in every of one of your albums. You had me at "Speak & Spell" all the way to "Spirit".

Rip Fletch. A brilliant musician, that will be missed.

Dear Depeche Mode, I traveled far to see my first live DM concert, it was during your World Violation Tour 1990. I was 17 years old, I had no ticket in my hands, couldn’t buy ahead of time, same for a ticket in front of the arena, as nobody wanted to sell (also no internet back then). I was desperate, sad to travel thousands kilometres, being so close and not being able to get that golden piece of paper. However, out of nowhere, some guy approached me and asked if I wanted to distribute DM merchandise leaflets inside of the arena up to the very start of concert after which he would give me a special pass for a concert. I did my part and merch guy gave me a special yellow rounded sticker tag, with which I was able to get almost anywhere in the arena and enjoy your concert. What a turn of events. Dear DM, congratulations and simply Thank you, thank you for your music. Love

I stood in line in LA on March 13, 1990 to meet them for the release of “Violators” only to have it ruined by a insane lawless crowd. However, I loved their World Violator Tour later that summer. I’ve seen these guys 6 times and they never fail to impress. Dob’t stop the music lads. It would’ve nice to see Vince and Alan there too.

Dave, you keep getting hotter and hotter as each year passes. I sure hope to see you all in concert again. I was introduced to your music in the early 90's when i went to a concert that a friend had dragged me to. And ever since then, I have been a devoted fan. I had to buy all the albums to get me up to speed. Went to every local concert then. I even went solo when you were touring solo. Personally one of my favorite concerts since i got to be right in front. Congrats on making it to the rock and roll hall of fame, long time coming and well deserved to each of you.

It's not about time. It's never about time to introduce non rock artists into the ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME. I love Depeche Mode, but this is a strecht and a joke. xD

Vince Clark and Alan Wilder 😭 so much respect ❤️ DM Forever ❤️💯

And your music saved us..

Wow Dave bedankt sich bei Vince und Alan. Das ist echt großartig. Und nochmal Danke das ihr mich durch meine ganze Jugend begleitet habt und für eure tolle Musik ❗🖤🌹

Martin's laugh.... As always so funny 😅😂 And they are really still sooooooo handsome, good looking men 💘🖤🖤🖤

I remember sneaking into my older brother's room in the basement to use his stereo when he was out one night. I hadn't really formed my musical tastes yet, pretty much listened to his stuff (zeppelin, black sabbath, the Who). I was sweeping the dial and came upon the chorus of Blasphemous Rumours on CFNY 102.1 (Toronto). I was transfixed. I had no idea who was singing, but it formed the bedrock of my obsession with the genre. Thank you for putting your soul into mechanical music and making something new for so many years. We love you.

RIP Fletch! Seems like a genuinely nice guy. A very talented group with some great music.

RIP my friend Andy! So so sad and heartbroken....

Ты один кто написал по Русски ,я согласен с тобой это должно длится вечно.Привет из Грузии...

I'm 38 years old. My older sister (10 years older than me) is my influence for my love of music.....especially Depeche Mode. She was the first one to take me to one of their shows. I was 16. I held my chest and cried during their WHOLE epic performance 🤣🤣🤣 10 years down the road....I see them again. Reacted the same way! Cried like a baby. My love for Depeche Mode goes way above and beyond my love for music. You guys are the best and will always be a huge part of me. I'm an addict (clean for 10 years). I'm also bipolar 1 and I tend to get in deep deep depression. You guys always pull me out of that. You deserve this more than anyone out there. I love you and will always have never ending appreciation for you as people and as musicians. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

RIP fletcher. American youth still has you guys in their playlists

I was starting listening you guys when i was young boy 12-15 years old,always was with electronic music, now im 47 and i still listening you,i have all your albums and cant imagine my music collection without you,thank you for your hard work and huge impact in my life,R.I.P Flatch...🙏

These guys affected my life profoundly....pretty sure lm not the only one.

Congrats to a band that has been a significant part of my musical life since the 1980s, blending darkly romantic lyrics and electronic soundscapes that very few other bands of their genre could match. I love seeing the camaraderie among this trio. If they have another album in them, would love to see Alan Wilder come back in some capacity (either full member or producer), but perhaps that ship has long sailed. Anyhow, kudos to one of the greats.

My godness....poor Andy ,he was soo happy.... Eternal peace on you humble soul dear Andy❤⚘😢

All the love. I know Depeche Mode because of my mom. I grew up with them. I'm so thankful it's like the soundtrack of my life. All the love guys, all the love and congratulations ❤️

Well deserved. A band that no one way back when, (even themselves, probably) would have pictured in that moment. They are the underdogs and outsiders who persevered, survived and thrived, and never strayed from their vision. An awesome catalogue of great albums, songs and sounds. Quality control. True masters of electronics. Thanks, boys for all the great memories you have given me and my friends in our lives.

Definitely. They were always outsiders. Never were in the mainstream, even as big as they were. Always underrated and hugely influential. Was way overdue

i love how old all of them are, it shows in how they talk over one another very cutely and Fletch clapping and showing off their trophy, it's very wholesome

We all get old :( but when you are old (im 56) so muchhhhhhh knowledge and history in your head, it just isnt there at 20.

My personal internal world of music and relax will not never be like till now. Too massive lost for us, fans of phenomenal part of our lives, what Depeche Mode was and still is. So super glad to be part of three concerts of DM and so sad they were only three. Thanks God Andy experienced the moment of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction.

So many years, I listen to depeche mode... it is like the soundtrack of my life. Thanks a lot

The guys looked genuinely happy and proud. I did wonder if they would be too cool to acknowledge the award. About 30 years late but we'll deserved.
