New Dave collaboration released
February 25, 2022
"Does That Hurt?", a collaboration between Dave and London-based singer/songwriter, OLI, has been released! Check out the song below:
There is also a new review page for the song here. I haven't seen any official lyrics posted for the song yet, so I had to transcribe them from what I heard. I apologize if there are mistakes in them; I will surely fix them in the coming days!
New magazine articles
February 20, 2022
I have posted 2 new magazine articles in the Print Articles section. One is a 1987 article about Depeche Mode from the French magazine, Rock & Folk, and the other is a 2021 article about Imposter from the Spanish magazine, Ruta 66. I don't have English translations for them yet, but I do plan to work on them!
The Kissing Game is back!
February 11, 2022
Not that it ever left but...now that it's getting close to Valentine's Day, I'd like to bring the Kissing Game back out again! From now on until midnight, February 14, you should have better chances of finding the secret images, like the one below, through the "Random Image" option. Have fun!

The Print Articles page now has a new section for newspaper articles, and our first addition to it is a Polish article about Imposter from Gazeta Wyborcza!
We are now on Instagram and Tumblr!
February 03, 2022
You voted, and Instagram came out on top for a new DGD social media account! Thus, you can follow us now at @davegahandevotion, where I will be posting content on a daily basis about our favorite singer! Finally, just because I wanted to (and it was super-easy), I also have a Tumblr account @davegahandevotion, so you can follow there, too, if you'd like. The content will be mostly similar, but because Tumblr is a lot more flexible about content, I can post things like GIFs and video links on there.
Global Spirit Tour stage jacket sold at auction
January 30, 2022
In a bit of Dave Gahan news, the red jacket that Dave wore during the Global Spirit Tour (shown below) just sold at auction for 16,000 USD!
The auction benefits MusiCares, a charity that helps music professionals in time of need. Other Depeche Mode-related items that were sold in this same auction include a Fender electric guitar autographed by band members, and a collection of DM album singles and Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn ("XL" edition). If you recall, I had written a feature last year about items of Dave's stage clothes which have sold at auction in the past. You can read it here.
Happy Birthday to us!
January 17, 2022
Dave Gahan Devotion is now 1 year old, so I just wanted to celebrate by first thanking my visitors, readers, and friends that I have made through this website. To think that I started from literally nothing exactly 1 year ago is kind of mind-boggling.
Next, what is in store for this website in the coming year? Well, of course we will be following whatever Dave does professionally this year, including further Soulsavers and Depeche Mode news if any. I also would like to continue the "Creators and Shapers" series with at least 1 more article, and I would also like to start spotlighting all of the men in Dave's life, from fellow band members, family members, and friends in a new series for which a title has not been decided yet. Thus, stay tuned for all of the exciting things to happen in DGD's second year!
Lastly, I have not forgotten about my resolution to start a new DGD social media account this year, but I still need your help in deciding on a platform! So far, Instagram seems to be winning, but I will keep the poll open until the end of the month. If you have not cast your vote yet, please do so!
