Depeche Mode share official cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes” to mark track’s 40th anniversary
"'Heroes is the most special song to me at the moment"
Depeche Mode have shared a studio recorded cover of David Bowie‘s classic “Heroes” to mark the song’s 40th anniversary. Watch the video first on NME below.
Tomorrow marks 40 years since Bowie released the title track from “Heroes” – the second in his acclaimed and so-called ‘Berlin Trilogy’. Having made their rendition a staple highlight of their ‘immaculate’ recent live sets, now Depeche Mode have honoured the song with an official cover and video recorded from the ‘Highline Sessions’ and directed by Tim Saccenti.
“”Heroes” is the most special song to me at the moment,” Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan told NME. “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.”
