Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan has claimed his band never get the credit they deserve for their world-wide success.
The singer says that the band go largely unacknowledged in their native Britain – even though they’re one of the few UK groups to really crack the American market.
He tells The Sun, “I don’t get it. We’re a band that has come out of England, lasted and done well. But no one seems to notice and it does hurt.
“It’s a struggle here to get recognition for what we’ve achieved. We’re that oddball band that people don’t know how to categorise. We don’t fit the rock category and are not pop.â€
However, you’ll get a chance to pay your respects when Depeche Mode’s Best Of album is released next week.
