During the red carpet interviews, Dave also revealed that he was working on a solo album that would become 'Hourglass'.
Dave Gahan told Artisannews :
"Well I was asked to do it, which I was honored to be asked and like I said some of the people involved in it were instrumental in getting me help and pointing me in the right direction, years ago. So, it's weird that life goes like that, when you're awake and showing up for it, things happen. I think it was a couple of phone calls. I know that John was asked to do it and then I was asked to do it and I was like "Is John doing it?" and it's one of those kind of things. And the chance to go out and play with him, he's quite a fan of Depeche Mode and it's great. I'm a big fan of what he does."
