Depeche Mode are among the world's best-selling synth-led groups, selling in excess of 40 million albums. From Basildon boys to globetrotting stadium superstars, clean cut to drug-fuelled and back again, Depeche Mode have done it all and survived - quite literally in the case of vocalist Dave Gahan. By 2002, they had toured the world twice over, playing to a combined audience of over two million people, collecting numerous awards along the way. For this biography, the author has carried out exclusive interviews with founder member Vince Clark and producer Gareth Jones, and has included previously unpublished interview material with the band members themselves. Friends and family have also assisted Miller in unravelling Depeche Mode's unconventional working dynamic and artists including Gary Numan, Howard Jones and Thomas Dolby have helped to set the electronic music scene that Depeche Mode have come to preside over.
