Depeche Mode have been paying tribute to David Bowie on their Global Spirit tour by covering "Heroes." Today they shared a live performance of "Heroes" in celebration of the iconic track's advancing 40th anniversary ("Heroes" was released September 23rd, 1977). The performance video was shot by Timothy Saccenti during the band's Highland Sessions which took place in August 2016.
Dave Gahan revealed to NME:
"Heroes" is the most special song to me at the moment. Bowie is the one artist who I’ve stuck with since I was in my early teens. His albums are always my go-to on tour and covering "Heroes" is paying homage to Bowie."
