Jessica Pimentel Instagram – The last time I saw Depeche Mode I was coming from a memorial service. It was the service of one of my dearest, oldest, closest friends and brother Andrew. We had planned to go to that show together. The deal was I would buy the tickets for the first night and he would buy the second night.. Tickets were bought, flights booked But the trip was never made as he passed away suddenly from an agressive cancer and it’s complications.. We didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye. In fact, We were kind of in a little fight as siblings often have And I didn’t answer his last call. That still hurts. My amazing partner agreed to go with me for the first night and Ironically, painfully, fittingly , Andrew’s memorial was on the day of the second show .. the worst day for all New Yorkers, September 11th. At some point, through all the hugs and tears it occurred to me that my jerk Brother still owed me a ticket!! I laughed so freaking hard Because I knew I had to go now. He wouldn’t have wanted it any other way and I couldn’t think of any other way to honor him and be more New York than going to a concert at Madison square garden on the saddest day ever. Thankfully, a friend helped me get a last minute box seat and I danced and cried and danced and sang and cheered till I lost my voice and my feet were throbbing. Yesterday was no different. I got to see the @depechemode ‘Momento Mori’ tour last night after coming from a full day of prayers for a funeral service fittingly on the saddest day of the year for most New York metalheads 4/14, when we lost Peter Steele. 🖤 Thank you David Thank you Martin. After Temple I went to church. 🖤 Momento Mori, Lama Zopa. Peter Steele. Andrew Borden and especially Andy Fletcher… I never thought there’d be a day that I would see Depeche Mode without Fletch 💔 Momento Mori- Ngepar Chiwa – Death is everywhere 💃💀💃 So live And answer your damn phone when someone calls you.
