After a wait of 16 years, many Depeche Mode fans' dreams came true when an on-stage reunion took place at The Royal Albert Hall in London. Alan Wilder appeared as a special guest during the Depeche Mode show to perform the song «Somebody» with Martin L. Gore. A well-kept secret was finally revealed to an unsuspecting audience at the moment of the first encore for the band's special one-off performance at the historical venue. This unique show was in support of the Teenage Cancer Trust with all proceeds from the show going to the charity.

Says Alan: «Dave contacted me a few weeks back and asked if I'd be willing to join them on-stage. He assured me that everyone in the band was into the idea. I was very happy to accept, especially as it was all in a good cause and we were long overdue some kind of reunion of this sort. It was great to see everyone again and catch up a bit, and it was also the first time I have actually 'seen' Depeche Mode perform!»
