Depeche Mode ended their almost five-year hiatus on February 11, 2023. As part of Italy’s Sanremo Festival, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore made their first appearance since the death of Depeche Mode founding member Andy Fletcher.
The synth-pop legends performed two songs that night — their new single “Ghosts Again” from their forthcoming album “Memento Mori” and the classic “Personal Jesus”.

About Memento Mori
The new Depeche Mode record will be released on March 24th. Here’s the full tracklist. It is the band’s first album since the sudden death of founding member Andrew Fletcher. The first single “Ghosts Again” was released on February 9th.
With the April 2023 issue of ROLLING STONE we are releasing another special collector’s item: An exclusive vinyl single with two songs by Depeche Mode – on the A side “Ghosts Again” from the new album “Memento Mori”, on the B side the famous song “Never Let Me Down Again” from the album “Music For The Masses” (1987). The 7″ single comes in a sturdy, carefully designed cardboard sleeve and on heavyweight vinyl.
It is only available with the German edition of ROLLING STONE and not in record stores.
A – Side: “Ghosts Again”
B – Side: “Never Let Me Down Again”
At the same time, MUSIKEXPRESS will be released with a Depeche Mode single. In addition to “Ghosts Again” on the A-side, there is a noble engraving on the B-side instead of a second track. Depeche Mode’s new album and their Germany tour in June and July are among the biggest music events of the year. That’s why ROLLING STONE and MUSIKEXPRESS have teamed up for this unique cooperation.
Both singles are also available in a bundle:
