Depeche Mode founding member Andy “Fletch” Fletcher has died, the band announced. “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,” the members of Depeche Mode wrote in a statement. “Our hearts are with his family, and we ask that you keep them in your thoughts and respect their privacy in this difficult time.” A source close to the band tells Pitchfork that Fletcher died of natural causes. The musician was 60 years old.

Formed in Basildon in the late 1970s, the band has had 17 Top 10 albums in the UK, and international chart success with songs including Enjoy The Silence, Personal Jesus and Just Can’t Get Enough.
