Long ago in the 80's when they came through Dallas, Dave offered to give my friend Juan a blow job, and asked him to come back to his hotel. Juan, was straight and politely declined. Juan's gay friend offered to go in his place, and Dave flat out said NO!.

I agree that he looks better as an older man.

I didn't realize that he's Jewish.

Here's a photo of him and his son in Israel, for the son's wedding.

The son looks a bit dorky.

The man in the above R12 pic with Dave, he recently died a few weeks ago.

He's not Jewish. His son married a Jewish woman. Gahan is English and some Malaysian background. It's murky, his step-dad who he thought was his bio dad, was of Irish descent. Dave's bio father was of English and malaysian descent.

Juan in his youth was a hot number. These days the heterosexual life aged him, but you can still see his former glory.

Didnt he literally die like 5 times?

Knew it was one of the blond guys from the band. Vince Clarke was the other blond but he left to form Yaz with Alison Moyet.

So what did Andy Fletcher die from? Think he was about 60. Still 'young' by US standards.

He looks surprisingly great for a guy who's OD'd multiple times and had to be resuscitated at least once.

No word on how fletcher died. It seemed to be very sudden and unexpected so it doesn't sound like he had been ill. I think natural cause was mentioned? So a heart attack?

Yea and Mick Jagger offered my mama a cunilingus.

by Anonymousreply 28June 14, 2022 1:02 PM

Perhaps Juan misheard and Dave was offering him blow at the hotel, not a blow job. If it really happened at all.

by Anonymousreply 29June 14, 2022 1:16 PM

Have you seen the way he danced in those early videos? Very gay. But he's English...very hard to tell with them.

by Anonymousreply 30June 14, 2022 2:03 PM

He never knew his dad? i wonder if he ever tried to find him etc. If his dad is Malaysian...it means his dad could be Muslim.

A good friend of mine was mistaken for him a few times. He had the same slick back hair but taller than Dave and some Depeche Mode fans asked him if he was Dave lol.

His step-dad died and when he was 10, a man showed up and was introduced as his real father. Said it messed him up. The bio dad was around a bit and disappeared again, for good.

His dad's name was leonard callcott. Sounds like an English name. I don't think he was full ethnic Malay. I think it was Dave's grandfather and earlier serving and living overseas in the British empire. Maybe they married local women? So it's not clear if Dave is ethnically Malay or that an English ancestor was born in Malaysia while the family was living in the British colony. He does look like he could have some Asian ancestry.

His brother is gay and active on Twitter.

He's sex on a stick. Still has it, never lost it, in spite of all his ups and downs. HOTNESS

He's straddles the line of being sexy and rock caricature. I loved his stage presence back in the day but watching concert footage now, sometimes he is so over the top. But maybe that's part of the charm.

He is a fantastic frontman. One of the best. I let a guy take my virginity because he had a big nose and reminded me of Dave Gahan, unfortunately he had big dick too and it hurt.

R24 R27 About a month after Fletch died, it was reported that his cause of death was an "aortic dissection." .. From the Rolling Stone article:

[quote] 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.

I've always thought that Martin Gore was the one who was most versed in gay sex. I can't hear "Never Let Me Down Again" and not think it's about an unexperienced guy dipping his toes into the gay BDSM scene.

R11 Dave was in Isreal attending his son’s wedding to a local girl.

by Anonymousreply 61September 22, 2024 10:40 AM

R11 Dave Gahan is part Malaysian Indian on his dad’s side. Gahan was his stepdad’s name; his birth name is Callcott. His son married an Israeli woman he met while in Israel while Depeche Mode was on tour. Dave married a woman of Orthodox Greek faith I think around 2010-2012. Not finding anything saying he is Jewish. God bless if he is, but seems not.
