I'm not in Lima, but our community there is already working on the design of the banners to welcome the band in the airport

Wish I could do the same for The Cure in Lima one day!

:roll:

i don't think the video is really anything that surprising, considering it's DM.

since i didn't followed DM videography that much, I can't say much
but looks like in the DM community this is really causing some controversia

ok i'm not saying it's ok to show just about anything there and just call it 'art' or whatever. it isn't. but still, i do find it a bit funny to read some of those comments:

nudity is one thing.. porn is another ... thats what alot of us are having problems with and there should of been a disclaimer for the tour.. as those parents are in a difficult position now

people freak out seeing a girl **** another girls toes and had there been a video there where someone kills 50 people with an uzi and i bet that guy (or anyone else either) would be there today, demanding for disclaimers.... :roll:
it's pretty hypocrite imo. there are videos with violence shows all the time (which i find a lot more serious issue) but people are just too numb to notice.

imo, if you go to a DM show then it's maybe not going to be a teddybears and pink fairies for the kids. or is DM something for the kids in the US these days (as i see many complainers come from the US)?
eh, i suppose some DMs fans over there really never listened to 'master and servant' etc.... 

seriously, i find some of those comments over there pretty funny.

Depeche Mode cancelled their concert in Greece (or maybe just posponed until tomorrow?)

The people was told about this when they were on the stadium :!:

He's in hospital, nothing terrible, and hopeully the concert will be re-scheduled for tomorrow night if he recovers fast.

Depeche Mode just cancelled their show in Warzaw, Poland.

Is the 7th concert cancelled in the tour. Hope Dave gets well very soon!

Live Nation regret to inform that Depeche Mode concert will not take place on the planned day (May 23rd).

The official statement from the band says:

"Depeche Mode regret to announce that they are forced to cancel a further show on their "Tour of the Universe" in Warsaw at Gwardia Stadium on Saturday, May 23rd.  Doctors have advised that more time is needed to allow singer, Dave Gahan, to fully recover from his recent illness and ensure that the tour can resume shortly.

Depeche Mode apologise to all their fans for this inconvenience and wish Dave a speedy recovery.

Ticket holders for the above show are advised to hold onto their tickets, as an announcement will be made shortly with regard to whether the date will be rescheduled, or cancelled altogether".

We ensure that, according to fans expectations, we are working on postponing the concert to a new date.

Regards,
Live Nation

with all those concerts cancelled, it looks like it's a shrinking universe for DM, not an expanding one (like for the rest of the world)...
i wonder what steven hawking might say about that.  



what exactly is wrong with gahan? i don't read Dm forums at all and cannot bother starting to dig into it. but i did notice this on their official forum:
http://forums.depechemode.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29520

Posting any rumours about dave stops here and now!!!!!
CANT SAY IT MORE CLEARLY THAN THIS!

DONT POST ANY RUMOURS ABOUT DAVE !!!!!!!!!

DONT ARGUE ABOUT THIS RULE!!!!!

Both things will lead to being banned.


that made wonder if there's been some sort of official news about his problem/illness? id there hasn't been any, i don't fully understand why people are threatened with banning if they speculate something. because what else is there but rumours and speculation if there hasn't been any official news? i do understand that they don't want anyone spreading any stupid rumours just for fun, but  fans will always want to discuss things like this anyway... so i find it a bit rough, to forbid all sort of discussion like that.
or am i missing something?

[japanesebaby]

does anyone know if there's any bit of truth behind the rumours that gahan might have stomach/bowel cancer?

[Trust...]

does anyone know if there's any bit of truth behind the rumours that gahan might have stomach/bowel cancer?

It's still not very clear.

I was reading this:

http://www.limburger.nl/article/20090527/PINKPOP01/54338739/1056

In the beginning it was just some stomach troubles, nothing to worry about. But later on he had a surgery in New York and they found "something" (I have no idea what the word is in English) what can explain the rumour that you hear about it. But nothing is official until now. I'm afraid that they gonna cancellate all upcoming shows 

[Trust...]

DM cancels 6 more shows, Dave recovering

Depeche Mode have canceled/postponed 6 more shows - London, Pinkpop, Hamburg, both nights in Dusseldorf, and the first night in Leipzig. The tour is scheduled to resume on June 8th in Leipzig. But most importantly, best wishes to Dave, who had to have a malignant tumor removed from his bladder. : ( Get well soon, Dave! For more info on the shows, check DM.com.

(Thanks to COF)

I wish Dave all the best... :(

The shows are the less important thing in this moment...
