Dave Gahan

British singer and composer Dave Gahan is primarily known as the vocalist and songwriter of the cult band Depeche Mode, but in addition, the musician has released a number of solo projects and collaborated with such performers as Knox Chandler, Andrew Fillpott and Thomas Anselmi, and in 2012 recorded albums “ The Light the Dead See "and" Angels & Ghosts "as vocalist for the electronic band Soulsavers.

Dave Gahan was born on May 9, 1962 in the British city of Epping into the family of a professional driver of Indian-Malaysian origin, Lin Calcott, and his wife, conductor Sylvia Ruth. When the boy was 6 months old and his older sister Sue was 2 years old, his father unexpectedly left home, and his mother went deep into religion until she got married a second time.

With the advent of a new spouse, Jack Gahan, who worked for an international oil and gas company, the family moved to the large administrative center of Basildon, and there Dave and Sue got their stepfather's surname, and Sylvia gave birth to two more children.

Life in the new place was cloudless, but everything changed when Jack suddenly died in 1972. Gahan was very upset by the loss and was shocked by meeting his biological parent, who appeared in their house under the pretext of helping and tried to behave like a real father.

In order to isolate himself from problems, the boy entered Essex High School and became interested in the work of the Sex Pistols and The Clash. In an effort to be like Sid Vicious and other members of the punk culture, he began to smoke and grow his hair, and then went down a curved path, committing theft of property, as well as theft and set fire to cars.

We can say that these crimes were left without punishment, and for the first time Dave got off with a slight fright. But when he trashed the police overseer's office, he had to serve his sentence for a year and work at Romford Correctional Facility on weekends.

Strict discipline helped the teenager to partially get rid of criminal inclinations and, after graduation, take up his mind. As a result, he worked at a construction site and in a supermarket, and in his spare time he played in the band The Vermin.

More and more fascinated by creativity, in 1979 Gahan studied design at Soughend Art College and, after graduating from the institution with an honorary diploma issued by a British national organization, received the position of a designer and took up window dressing.

In his youth, Dave was actively involved in creativity, and his biography was associated with the Composition of Sound team, in which Vince Clarke, Andrew Fletcher and Martin Gore played. After joint participation in a jam, where Gahan presented David Bowie's composition "Heroes", the musicians began a collaboration and renamed the band Depeche Mode.

With the emergence of a talented soloist, the British band pioneered progressive styles and gained worldwide fame with the albums Speak & Spell, Black Celebration, Music for the Masses and Some Great Reward.

The recognition and success negatively affected Gahan's personality. In the 1990s, after the release of the records "Songs of Faith and Devotion" and "Violator", the vocalist became addicted to drugs, and for some time he dropped out of the process. However, after attempting suicide and being hospitalized due to the abuse of speedball, Dave underwent medical treatment in America and prevented the demise of Depeche Mode.

In the 2000s, along with the recordings of the Ultra and Exciter albums, the filming of video clips, as well as concerts as part of the team, Dave took up solo work and released his debut album Paper Monsters. And then, with the support of session musicians, the performer appeared at the cult Glastonberry festival and organized an extensive tour.

In 2007, the Briton released the disc "Hourglass" and worked with the electronic project Soulsavers, and then wrote a number of compositions for the albums "Delta Machine" and "Spirit". In the late 2010s, Depeche Mode played hundreds of concerts and presented an enchanting show called the Global Spirit Tour.

Judging by the latest information about Gahan's personal life, the singer now lives in New York with his third wife Jennifer Scliaz and daughter Stella. On Instagram, dedicated to his work, there are photos of his wife and children.
