Supposedly paramedics nicknamed him "the Cat" because he has survived numerous severe drug overdoses, including one that gave him a minor heart attack. Hopefully he is past all of that. As a matter of interest Dave Gahan has lived in New York City with his American wife since the 1990s. Martin Gore, who wrote most of Depeche Mode's music, lives in California.Can't believe that Dave Gahan is 61 lol
