News about Alan Wilder

Alan Wilder, the former home of music legend Alan Wilder of Depeche Mode fame, is up for auction for £4.5 million. Wilder (inset) played synthesizer in the 1980s electro band infamous for hits like Just Can't Get Enough (which was not announced before he joined) and Enjoy the Silence. He was a member of the band from 1982 to 1995, when he left saying that there was 'increasing dissatisfaction with the organization's internal relations and working practices.' Now fans of the musician and composer may live where he once did, if they're willing to fork out for it. The stunning house in Itchingfield, Sussex, England, was built in 1936 and has only two previous owners, with Wilder being the most recent. It is located in an exquisite estate of almost 300 square feet, and it has eight bedrooms, three bathrooms, a swimming (bottom right) and a sauna.
