"Dave contacted me a few weeks back and asked if I'd be willing to join them on-stage. He assured me that everyone in the band was into the idea. I was very happy to accept, especially as it was all in a good cause and we were long overdue some kind of reunion of this sort. It was great to see everyone again and catch up a bit, and it was also the first time I have actually 'seen' Depeche Mode perform!"
"My Honest decision to leave the band came during the making of the Songs Of Faith And Devotion album. I can remember one or two occasions that stick vividly in my mind where, during the recording - particulary those first sessions - I thought, 'This is not enjoyable; I don't want to be doing this; this is the last time I want to be in this situation.'"
"I'm grateful to the fans for showing their support and thankful to my family, friends and all of the doctors who looked after me so well.
Being back onstage is an incredible feeling and I'm looking forward to each and every show."
