In March 2023, Depeche Mode performed "Personal Jesus" as part of their live shows, aligned with their most recent album, "Memento Mori," which was released shortly before the recording. This album marked a significant moment in the band's history, being their first since the death of founding member Andy Fletcher in May 2022. The live performance of "Personal Jesus," a song originally released in 1989 from the album "Violator," showcased the band’s enduring appeal and ability to connect with audiences across generations. The 2023 rendition not only highlighted the band's legacy but also emphasized a new chapter in their career, demonstrating resilience and continuity in their musical journey. Additionally, "Memento Mori" signifies a thematic exploration of mortality and introspection, reflecting the profound changes within the band both personally and artistically.
