Book Description
Depeche Mode became the worlds best-selling synth-led group selling in excess of 40 million albums.

By 2002, they had toured the world twice over, playing to a combined audience of over two million.

Depeche Mode Stripped FROM THE PUBLISHER
Jonathan Miller's groundbreaking book features in-depth interviews with founder member Vince Clarke and producers Gareth Jones and Mark Bell, and contains never-before-seen interviews with the band members themselves. With additional input from Gary Numan, Howard Jones and Thomas Dolby this is a unique portrait of a band that almost lost control when their lives went off the rails and lead singer Dave Gahan's heroin addiction nearly killed him. In the end Depeche Mode not only survived, they triumphed, racking up a staggering 40 million+ album sales on the way.
