Depeche Mode and sponsors donate £400k to Teenage Cancer Trust
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 1 March 2010
Depeche Mode and their tour sponsors, watchmakers Hublot, presented the Teenage Cancer Trust with a £400,000 cheque last week, which was nice of them.
The Mode have been doing various fundraising things during their Hublot-sponsored tour, including auctioning off twelve unique Depeche Mode watches made by the sponsor.
They presented the big fat cheque at a concert in aid of the Trust at the Albert Hall last week. The Mode gig was part of the Roger Daltrey’s annual fundraising concert programme, even though it preceded the others by a month.
By the way, during that show former Moder Alan Wilder joined the band on stage during their encore, the first time he has appeared with the band since quitting fourteen years ago.
