Gore, who had written "Tora! Tora! Tora!" and the instrumental "Big Muff" for Speak & Spell, became the band's main lyricist. That's not true." The song went on to become a UK Top 3 hit for Yazoo. Clarke, however, denied in an interview that such an offer ever took place saying, "I don't know where that came from. According to third-party sources, Clarke offered the remaining members of Depeche Mode the track "Only You", but they declined. Initial talk of Clarke's continuing to write material for Depeche Mode ultimately amounted to nothing. Soon afterwards, Clarke joined up with blues singer Alison Moyet to form Yazoo (or Yaz in the United States). Clarke also said he was sick of touring, which Gahan said years later was "bullshit to be quite honest." Gahan went on to say he "suddenly lost interest in it and he started getting letters from fans asking what kind of socks he wore." In November 1981, Clarke publicly announced that he was leaving Depeche Mode. Not with all the interviews and photo sessions".

WME is the result of the 2009 merger of the William Morris Agency with the Endeavor Agency, which combined the oldest talent agency in the world with the newest of the "major" agencies, respectively. WME also advises some of the world's most recognized consumer brands to create "entertainment-based marketing solutions". Now, WME represents artists from all facets of the entertainment industry, including motion pictures, television, music, theatre, digital, publishing, lifestyle, and physical production. The company was founded as the William Morris Agency in 1898, becoming the first talent agency in the world, at the time representing vaudeville artists.

Depeche Mode still has a lucrative touring business - the Brit band launches its next world tour in May 2013 in conjunction with the release of its 13th album, and its last European tour drew 2.5 million.
