Memento Mori is the upcoming fifteenth studio album by Depeche Mode set to be released on 17 March 2023, through Columbia and Mute.[1][2] It will be the first Depeche Mode studio album to be released after the death of co-founder and keyboardist Andy Fletcher on 26 May 2022. It will be promoted by the Memento Mori tour.
Background
In August 2022, a photo of Martin Gore and Dave Gahan in the studio was shared on social media, indicating they were in the studio working on new material.[3][4]

In September 2022, social media pages for the band began posting teasers.[5] A teaser on the 27th September 2022 revealed a date of the 4th October 2022, later revealed to be a press conference.[6][7]
On 3 October 2022, one day prior to the press conference, Clash Magazine inadvertently leaked both the name of the then-unannounced album, and its upcoming tour.[8]
On 4 October 2022, the band held a press conference in Berlin, announcing their upcoming album titled Memento Mori and a world tour to go along with it.[9] The album is scheduled to be released "towards the end of March" 2023,[10] which will coincide with the tour starting on 23 March 2023.[11]
"We started work on this project early in the pandemic, and its themes were directly inspired by that time. After Fletch's passing, we decided to continue as we're sure this is what he would have wanted, and that has really given the project an extra level of meaning.
— Martin Gore on the creating process of the album, Live Nation Entertainment[9]
