Andy Fletcher, the keyboardist of Depeche Mode, died at the age of 60.

Andy “Fletch” Fletcher, the keyboardist for Depeche Mode for more than 40 years, died at the age of 60.

Depeche Mode’s official social media pages reported the death of founding member Fletcher.

Fletcher died of natural causes at his home in the United Kingdom on Thursday, according to a source close to the band. Because they were not permitted to speak publicly, the source spoke on the condition of anonymity.

“We are shocked and filled with overwhelming sadness with the untimely passing of our dear friend, family member, and bandmate Andy ‘Fletch’ Fletcher,” the band’s posts said. “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.”

In 1980, Fletcher, fellow synthesizer musicians Vince Clarke and Martin Gore, and lead singer Dave Gahan created Depeche Mode in Basildon, England.

A year later, the band would break out with their debut album “Speak and Spell,” which opened with the minor hit “New Life” and finished with “Just Can’t Get Enough,” one of the band’s most enduring singles.

When punk rock first appeared on the music scene in 1976, etcher was 15 years old. He was influenced by bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Cure, Kraftwerk, early Human League, and early OMD. Fletcher and schoolmate Vince Clarke created the short-lived band No Romance in China, in which Fletcher played bass guitar. At the Van Gogh pub on Paycocke Road in Basildon in 1980, Fletcher met Martin Gore. The trio, now all on synthesizers, created a new ensemble called Composition of Sound with Clarke.

Until singer Dave Gahan was hired into the band later that year, Clarke served as the principal songwriter and also provided lead vocals, after which they chose the moniker Depeche Mode at Gahan’s suggestion. Clarke quit the band in late 1981, shortly after their debut album Speak & Spell was released.

A Broken Frame, their follow-up album from 1982, was recorded as a trio, with Gore taking over songwriting duties.

Alan Wilder, a musician, and producer, joined the band in late 1982, and the band remained a quartet until Wilder’s retirement in 1995. Gahan, Gore, and Fletcher stayed active after that, up until the release of their 2017 album Spirit and subsequent world tour.
