So sad about Andrew Fletcher. Only 60! Such an amazing band live. I’d always hoped Depeche Mode would play Glastonbury. So often rumoured.

Yes sad news indeed

Band I've always loved and when I met my wife discovered they were her favourite band.  Had never seen them live up until that point but worked it out have seen them 7 times over the years since I met my wife.

As @anditmakesmesmilesaid, always hoped they'd play Glastonbury

Gutted to hear this.  60 is no age whatsoever.  On my shortlist of "must headline at some point" bands. Maybe not now. 😞

RIP Fletch, the glue that stuck the band together. More than any other artist, they are the band that have accompanied me through my life, from being a 12/13 year old boy. They are not just the band from my youth, but one who have lived with me through what seems like my entire life. It would be weird for them to carry on now. 60 is absolutely no age at all.

Gutted. She was beautiful in every way

[Ayrshire Chris]

So sad the news about Olivia Newton John. One of the first singles I ever bought as a teenager was her version of Dylan’s if not for you.

Ah crap 😢

RIP in that big Motown party in the sky.

Unfortunately there’s a Pogue down this morning, and it’s not the one people might have expected to go first 😞

Saw them in Finsbury Park in July 87 and more recently at BDs a few years ago.

He's not the first Pogue to die - Philip Chevron died a good few years back. Still, RIP Daryll Hunt - The Pogues are one of my favourite bands ever.

Ethel & Ernest for me. I read it not long ago and was so touched by it. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though I always thought that was an odd choice of song for Bowie to open his Glastonbury set with.
