“For me, ‘Ghosts Again’ captures the perfect balance between melancholy and joy,” says frontman Dave Gahan (60), explaining the desired mood of the brand new track. Bandmate Martin Gore (61) is happy to finally “be able to share the song with the world”. The accompanying record “Memento Mori” will follow on March 24 this year, and it is already the band’s 15th studio album.
