I still find interviews from this era hard to watch. Having followed them since the early 80s, watching Dave go from fresh faced teenager to 30 something drug addict was heart breaking. Thank goodness he's now clean and sober and we can look forward to seeing him front DM for years to come. 💝
I was a huge fan of Depeche in 1993, and I had no idea Dave was in such a bad place then. It was only in the next few years that we all knew. It is a miracle that the band managed to stay together and are still going. I would like to read Dave's autobiography but he will probably never write one because those memories are too painful.
Dave and Mick, genius front men…..Dave’s voice is brilliant. So proud he endured the darkness to get back into the light. Just brilliant, love, love him ….ohhhh that voice🥰☮️
This is such a testament to Dave's rehabilitation. It's disheartening to see him like this 14 years ago, but it's great that they've fought through it as a band and have come back stronger than ever. I am so excited for the new album and the much talked about DM tour and album next year!!!! :D

Its realy sad to see Dave at this time. Thank God that he is still alive.
Now he's clean
The cleanest he's been..
Even wasted he's still so gracious and honest. So glad this beautiful man is still with us.
stay away from the drink and the drugs *sips wine*
He was a different person back then. I am glad he got sober. His interviews are so much better these days.
"Stay away from the drinks and drugs." As he holds a glass of what appears to be wine. Heh. I'm so glad he was able to overcome his addictions.
Dave was very sick at the time...
I'm glad he's doing alright now.
Massive hero of mine.
His expression on his face about what he said at 4:27 was heartbreaking. Just pure HONESTY!! I'm glad he's doing much better now!
"put that in my box of speacial things" xD
We are SO BLESSED to have him with us still! ❤️🩹
despite his conditon, there was one sentence which will stick to my mind: "Everybody has got wings, you just have to go find 'em and open them" ...wow
It's sad to see him like this :( but I'm happy he broke through it and he's all right now. ;)
I've just seen Dave's 1982 interview and now I see this. It's like two different people!
