Biography
British musician, a member of the rock group Depeche Mode and their lead singer. They were the first of the big electronic groups, basically a novelty act when they made their debut. They reached the top-10 in both the U.S. and their native England with their 1990 album, "Violator." The band is composed of Gahan, Martin Gore, songwriter and Alan Wilder, electronics, and Andrew Fletcher, who manages the business affairs of Depeche Mode Inc.
An active drug abuser, Gahan entered the hospital briefly in August 1995 after slashing his wrists in a suicide attempt. On 5/28/1996, he was arrested after being saved from death from an apparent overdose of cocaine in a Los Angeles hotel room. He pleaded not guilty at his hearing.
Gahan married Joanne, the secretary of the band's fan club, in 1985: they had a son, Jack, in 1987 and divorced in 1991.
