Dave Gahan, longtime singer for Depeche Mode, has said that he will quit Depeche if he doesnít have a larger say when it comes to songwriting. Fellow Moder Martin Gore has been the longtime songwriter, but now that Gahan has released his debut solo work, Paper Monsters, the frontman is saying he will leave the band unless Gore relinquishes some of the power. In an interview with the Spiegel, Gahan stated, “Whether there is a future for Depeche Mode very much depends on whether Martin is willing and open enough to change. All I know is it won’t be going on as it was, I want to be involved more in working on new songs.” The gauntlet has been thrown! Whether this is handbags at 20 paces or the beginning of the end of one of the most groundbreaking bands of the 1980s is yet to be seen.
