Depeche Mode keyboardist Andy “Fletch” Fletcher died after suffering an aortic dissection at his home last month at the age of 60. Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore and Dave Gahan revealed the musician’s cause of death — at his family’s request — on Facebook Monday, June 27. Per the Mayo Clinic , an aortic dissection occurs when the inner layer of the body’s main artery tears, allowing blood to rush through and split the middle and inner layers of the aorta. Though generally uncommon, aortic dissections often occur in men in their sixties and seventies; they are fatal when the blood goes through the outside wall of the aorta. In their note, Gore and Gahan said, “So, even though it was far, far too soon, [Fletcher] passed naturally and without prolonged suffering.” Gore and Gahan thanked fans for their support in the weeks since Fletcher’s death, saying, “As you can imagine, it’s been a strange, sad, disorienting few weeks for us here, to say the least. But we’ve seen and felt … [Read more...] about Depeche Mode Reveal Cause of Death for Founding Keyboardist Andy Fletcher

At almost eight months pregnant, Brittany Echols, 31, stood in the Saturday afternoon heat; the stifling humidity hard on anyone as it topped 70 percent outside the Supreme Court. Yet, defiant to the blazing sun, sign in hand, she participated in her very first protest. “My daughter is my choice,” it read. Unlike some others in the crowd, the journey from Fredericksburg, Virginia wasn’t far, but it’s a state where the impact of the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is yet to be determined, as there are neither trigger laws nor codified abortion protections. Her resolve to show up though, was clear: it was about her yet-to-be-born daughter. “It’s important to show that pro-choice does not mean that you’re anti-life,” she says. “It doesn’t affect me personally, but it affects my daughter. It affects everybody around us. And I’m just — I’m terrified today.” Maura Ugarte of Washington, D.C., standing with her two daughters, 8-year old Frankie and four year old Alma, … [Read more...] about They Went to D.C. to Protest the Death of Roe.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably well aware that Baz Luhrmann ’s flashy Elvis biopic was released this week. It’s been hard to ignore the film’s major marketing push over the past month: a long standing ovation at Cannes, TikTok-creator sponsored content, a Doja Cat soundtrack cut, and the campaign to make Carrie Diaries star Austin Butler into a Brad Pitt-style heartthrob. In the thick of the promotion, the marketing push has led to re-fascination with Elvis Presley himself. Public interest had notably waned in the past couple decades. In a Rolling Stone piece two years ago, the King’s estate had been cooking up many ideas on how to rebuild slipping revenue streams and spark public interest in the star once more. Much like Bohemian Rhapsody had done for energizing Gen Z Queen/Freddie Mercury stans, they were probably banking on Elvis doing the same for another historical rock figure. This week’s episode of Don’t Let This Flop points out … [Read more...] about The Many Cancellations of Elvis Presley
