Did Vince Clarke Go To Andy Fletcher’S Funeral? Fans Speculate

While Vince Clarke didn’t attend Andy Fletcher’s funeral, he has remained close friends with Martin Gore. This friendship didn’t start in the early 1980s, but blossomed after they promoted their VCMG album together.

It’s important to remember that Clarke left Depeche Mode in 1981, before Fletcher joined. While he was part of the band’s formative years and wrote some of their biggest hits, he left to form Yazoo and later Erasure. Although he and Fletcher weren’t close during their time in Depeche Mode, their paths crossed again later in their careers, and they developed a mutual respect. The VCMG project, which saw them collaborate on a remix album, seems to have been a turning point in their relationship, leading to a genuine friendship. While Clarke wasn’t able to attend the funeral, it’s clear that he and Fletcher had a good relationship, and that Clarke remains close to his former bandmate, Martin Gore.
